The main run loop, determining which objects get called in what order is described in detail in the notes below. The objects in the `Network` are accesible via their names, e.g. `net['neurongroup']` would return the `NeuronGroup` with this name. Parameters ---------- objs : (`BrianObject`, container), optional A list of objects to be added to the `Network` immediately, see `~Network.add`. name : str, optional An explicit name, if not specified gives an automatically generated name Notes ----- The main run loop performs the following steps: 1. Prepare the objects if necessary, see `~Network.prepare`. 2. Determine the end time of the simulation as `~Network.t`+``duration``. 3. Determine which set of clocks to update. This will be the clock with the smallest value of `~Clock.t`. If there are several with the same value, then all objects with these clocks will be updated simultaneously. Set `~Network.t` to the clock time. 4. If the `~Clock.t` value of these clocks is past the end time of the simulation, stop running. If the `Network.stop` method or the `stop` function have been called, stop running. Set `~Network.t` to the end time of the simulation. 5. For each object whose `~BrianObject.clock` is set to one of the clocks from the previous steps, call the `~BrianObject.update` method. This method will not be called if the `~BrianObject.active` flag is set to ``False``. The order in which the objects are called is described below. 6. Increase `Clock.t` by `Clock.dt` for each of the clocks and return to step 2. The order in which the objects are updated in step 4 is determined by the `Network.schedule` and the objects `~BrianObject.when` and `~BrianObject.order` attributes. The `~Network.schedule` is a list of string names. Each `~BrianObject.when` attribute should be one of these strings, and the objects will be updated in the order determined by the schedule.
