Detailed Description

A helper class that provides a robust way to deal with time loops.

An incremented integer counter is used to calculate the current time and ensure that the correct end time.

Definition at line 52 of file TimeStepper.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TimeStepper::TimeStepper	(	double	startTime,
		double	endTime,
		double	dt,
		bool	enforceConstantTimeStep = `false`,
		std::vector< double >	additionalTimes = `std::vector<double> ()`
	)

Create a new time stepper over some simulation interval. Time units are not specified, but all parameters should have consistent units.

Parameters:

startTime	the start of the interval
endTime	the end of the interval
dt	the time step to use.
enforceConstantTimeStep	If this is true the stepper estimates whether non-constant timesteps will be used and quits if so.
additionalTimes	If the timestepper needs to stop at certain additional times, they can be passed in in this std::vector. Defaults to empty. These times must be in ascending order. Note that if, for example, start=0, end=0.5, dt=0.1, and the additional stopping time is 0.33, the times used will be 0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.33,0.4,0.5 NOT ..,0.33,0.43,0.5

Member Function Documentation

void TimeStepper::AdvanceOneTimeStep ( )

Step forward one step in time and update member variables.

Note that this should be used in conjuction with (not) IsTimeAtEnd because increment past the end of a simulation will throw an exception
