SimulationSystem

The parent of all simulator nodes; does the time handling. Note: children nodes only do the simulation but not the rendering, therfore the output has to be routed to specialized rendering nodes like eg the ParticleSet.

id Name DataType PartType Default ValueType Description
SFTime time SFTime inputOutput 0 Externally triggered time (internally used for dT).
SFFloat speed SFFloat inputOutput 1 Scaling factor for simulation speed.
SFInt32 minStepsPerFrame SFInt32 inputOutput -1 minimum value for iteration steps per frame
SFInt32 maxStepsPerFrame SFInt32 inputOutput -1 maximum value for iteration steps per frame
SFTime maxStepTime SFTime inputOutput -1 upper bound for dT (useful for preventing simulation from blowing off if frame rate is too low)
SFBool localCoordSystem SFBool inputOutput TRUE evaluate calculations (e.g. gravitation) in local or global coordinate frame
SFBool enabled SFBool inputOutput TRUE Flag to enable/disable the node behaviour
MFString logFeature MFString inputOutput state, child, parent, route, eventIn, eventOut controls the logging of changes, state: log state changes (e.g. live), child: log child add/remove, parent: log parent add/remove, route: log route add/remove; eventIn: log receiving of events, eventOut: log sending of events: guiView, runtime system should create node-view, guiEdit: runtime system should create node-editeverything: log everything
SFNode metadata SFNode inputOutput MetadataObject container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element
