Add functionality to pick up existing datasets #116

Open raar1 opened 5 years ago

Could be tricky, but would be nice to be able to create a campaign from an existing dataset not created with EasyVVUQ.

What does that mean, exactly?

raar1 commented 5 years ago

I think this is an old idea that @dww100 and I had, that someone may have an existing directory structure (of an approximately similar or sane form) containing output from some set of simulations they ran without EasyVVUQ, but which they might like to use for the analysis or subsequent runs.

So we could provide relatively basic tools (we obviously can't and won't support any type of directory structure) to pick up the relevant info and convert into an EasyVVUQ campaign.

Even the simplest case is not necessarily trivial to do robustly, which is likely why no one has attempted to provide this functionality yet.
