# Example: Agent-based SEIR model with contact networks
This example demonstrates the use of the `network` module of `ixa`.
There are three CSV files:
- `Households.csv` represents 500 households of size 1-12. Individuals have age
category and sex properties. Within the model, these individuals are placed in
a densely connected network.
- `AgeUnder5Edges.csv` contains the edges connecting those aged under 5
- `Age5to17Edges.csv` contains the edges connecting those aged 5-17.
In `network.rs`, three corresponding edge types are created using the
`define_edge_type!` macro and the networks are formed by adding edges to the
context using `add_edge_bidi`.
In `seir.rs`, a SEIR model is implemented with different betas by network edge
type. Edge queries (`get_matching_edges`) allow us to identify the neighbors of
the infected individuals and consider whether they become exposed.
`loader.rs` reads in the `Household.csv` file and `parameters.rs` sets up global
properties for the SEIR model.
`incidence_report.rs` sets up a report with information on who became infected
by whom during the simulation and saves the information to a csv in an `\output`
folder.
## How to run the model
`cargo run --example network-hhmodel`
To run the model with logging turned on:
`cargo run --example network-hhmodel -- --log-level info`
To see all details of the plans being added:
`cargo run --example network-hhmodel -- --log-level trace`
