"""
This script is used to run a simulation from the given command-line
arguments:
1. Label of the simulation
2. Label of the network to be simulated

It initializes the network class and then runs the simulate method of
the simulation class instance.

This script should be used in the `jobscript_template` defined in the
config.py file. See config_template.py.
