save_system: Save an orbit_system to disk

In orbitr: A Tidy Physics Engine for Building and Visualizing Orbital Simulations

Save an orbit_system to disk

Description

Saves the full 'orbit_system' object (bodies, forces, and time) to an '.rds' file so it can be restored later with [load_system()]. This preserves everything — the gravitational constant, body states, and class — exactly as it was.

Usage

save_system(system, path)

Arguments

system	An 'orbit_system' object.
path	File path to save to. Should end in '.rds'.

Value

'system', invisibly.

Examples

sys <- create_system() |>
  add_sun() |>
  add_planet("Earth", parent = "Sun")

save_system(sys, file.path(tempdir(), "my_system.rds"))
