TiedNets is a simulator of cascading failures in interdependent networks, written in Python.

It is composed of a set of packages to:

• create couples of interdependent networks
• simulate attacks on networks and examine cascading failures
• gather the results of multiple simulations and combine them

The Wiki contains the overview of the tools and general information you'll need to work with it.

The recommended Python version is 2.7, but most things should work fine with newer 3.2+ versions.
The easiest way to install Python and all the needed packages is probably using the Anaconda installer.

If you want to use an IDE, you can this project with PyCharm.
