How to create a simulator

To creat a simulator, you need first import the stepspy and then create simulator with the STEPS class in stepspy.

Here are some demo codes:

from stepspy import STEPS

# create a default simulator with default log destination (stdout)
simulator1 = STEPS() 

# create a non-default simulator with default log destination (stdout)
simulator2 = STEPS(is_default=False) 

# create a non-default simulator, and export log to file demo.log
simulator3 = STEPS(is_default=False, log_file="demo.log") 

# create a non-default simulator, and disable all logs
simulator4 = STEPS(is_default=False, log_file="blackhole") 

STEPS can creat multiple simulators in a single process. This is quite helpful if you want to manipulate data in different simulators and compare the two cases.
