The results directory contains subdirectories which lowercase the simulation name and append a Unix timestamp. I believe this to be a sensible classification. Can I ask why you would want to change the directory name?

Hi,
I have to re-run the simulation multiple times and the folder name with timestamp is difficult for understanding and as per project requirement I need to prefix the reports folder with the simulation name and Timestamp which is more understandable. simulation name can be added by editing the config file"outputDirectoryBaseName =“test”" # The prefix for each simulation result folder (then suffixed by the report generation timestamp)… The report generation timestamp that is suffixed has to be changed to datetime format.
Could you pls help.
