Detailed Description

Simulation time object stores the simulation time. It uses the singleton pattern to provide a globally consistent time.

Note that the start time, end time and number of time steps must be set before time can be incremented and returned.

You should generally use the calls IncrementTimeOneStep() and GetTime() when using this class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SimulationTime::SimulationTime (  )  [protected]

Default simulation time constructor

Sets up time, you must set the start time, end time and number of time steps before using the object.

Definition at line 46 of file SimulationTime.cpp.

References mCurrentTime, mEndTimeAndNumberOfTimeStepsSet, mpInstance, mStartTime, mStartTimeSet, and mTimeStepsElapsed.

SimulationTime::SimulationTime ( const SimulationTime  )  [protected]

Copy constructor.

void SimulationTime::SetEndTimeAndNumberOfTimeSteps ( double  endTime,
unsigned  totalTimeStepsInSimulation 
)

Sets the end time and the number of time steps. This must be called after SetStartTime() but before using any other methods.

Parameters:
endTime Time at which to end this run of the simulation
totalTimeStepsInSimulation the number of time steps into which the above will be dvided

Definition at line 116 of file SimulationTime.cpp.

References mCurrentTime, mDurationOfSimulation, mEndTime, mEndTimeAndNumberOfTimeStepsSet, mStartTimeSet, and mTotalTimeStepsInSimulation.

void SimulationTime::ResetEndTimeAndNumberOfTimeSteps ( const double &  rEndTime,
const unsigned &  rNumberOfTimeStepsInThisRun 
)

Reset method for the end time and the number of time steps, to run the simulation further after a first initial run.

Parameters:
rEndTime The new end time for this simulation (now extended) note that the simulation will run from the current time to this new end time NOT from 0 to this end time.
rNumberOfTimeStepsInThisRun the number of time steps to split the next run into.

Referenced by TissueSimulation< DIM >::Solve().

double SimulationTime::GetTimeStep (  )  const

Get the simulation time step, set in earlier calls. Warning: Use of this method may result in round errors -- generally use GetTime() instead.

Returns:
time step for this run of the simulation

void SimulationTime::IncrementTimeOneStep (  ) 

Increment the simulation time by one time step.

GetTime() will return an updated current time after this call.

unsigned SimulationTime::GetTimeStepsElapsed (  )  const

Get the number of time steps that have elapsed.

Returns:
number of time steps which have been taken

double SimulationTime::GetTime (  )  const

void SimulationTime::Destroy (  )  [static]

Destroy the current SimulationTime instance. The next call to Instance will create a new instance, on which SetEndTimeAndNumberOfTimeSteps must be called again to reset time.

This method *must* be called before program exit, to avoid a memory leak.

Definition at line 59 of file SimulationTime.cpp.

References mpInstance.

bool SimulationTime::IsStartTimeSetUp (  )  const

Allows lower classes to check whether the simulation time class has been set up before using it

Returns:
whether the start time of the simulation has been set.

Definition at line 152 of file SimulationTime.cpp.

References mStartTimeSet.

Referenced by TissueSimulationArchiver< DIM, SIM >::Load(), and TissueSimulationArchiver< DIM, SIM >::Save().

bool SimulationTime::IsFinished (  )  const

Returns:
whether the simulation has finished.

Definition at line 158 of file SimulationTime.cpp.

References mCurrentTime, and mEndTime.

unsigned SimulationTime::GetTotalNumberOfTimeSteps (  )  const

Returns:
the total number of time steps to be taken in this run.

Definition at line 164 of file SimulationTime.cpp.

References mTotalTimeStepsInSimulation.

void SimulationTime::SetStartTime ( double  startTime  ) 

Set the start time of the simulation

Parameters:
startTime the time at which the simulation begins (usually 0.0 hours)

Definition at line 69 of file SimulationTime.cpp.

References mCurrentTime, mStartTime, and mStartTimeSet.

SimulationTime& SimulationTime::operator= ( const SimulationTime  )  [protected]

Overloaded assignement operator.

template<class Archive>
void SimulationTime::serialize ( Archive &  archive,
const unsigned int  version 
) [inline, private]

Serialization of a SimulationTime object must be done with care. Before the object is serialized via a pointer, it *MUST* be serialized directly, or an assertion will trip when a second instance of the class is created on de-serialization.

Parameters:
archive 
version
