Time

When Time is selected a set of global variables are defined and used by the other components. When this component is selected, time is assumed to be the driving variable of the simulation (which is the case for most simulations).

• type: Fundamental, Time.

• parameters:

  • currentStep : unsigned long long int, optional, default: 0.

  • simulationTime : float, optional, default: 0.0.

  • timeStep : float, optional.

• data: None.

The currentStep, simulationTime and timeStep are usually not set by the user, but are updated by the simulation engine.
