sedb.evinfo - Package: sedb

Event information in discrete-event simulation

Syntax

ev_struct = evinfo(evid)

Description

ev_struct = evinfo(evid) returns a structure that stores information about the event with identifier evid. To obtain a list of events on the event calendar and their identifiers, use sedb.evcal.

Outputs

ev_struct

Structure that stores information about the event. The following table describes the ev_struct fields.

Field Description

ID Event identifier

EventType Type of event

EventTime Scheduled time of event

Priority Priority of event

Entity Identifier of entity associated with the event

Block Path name of block that executes the event

Examples

View event information:

Begin a debugger session for a particular model. At the MATLAB command prompt, enter:
```
sedebug('sedemo_count_attributes')
```

Proceed in the simulation. At the sedebug>> prompt, enter:

step

The output shows the identifier, ev1, in the display:

%==============================================================================%
Initializing Time-Based Entity Generators
    %..........................................................................%
    Scheduling EntityGeneration Event (ev1)
    : EventTime = 0.000000000000000 (Now)
    : Priority  = 1
    : Block     = Time-Based Entity Generator

View information about the event that the application is about to schedule:

evid = gcev
evdetails = evinfo(evid)

The output shows the same identifier, ev1, in the workspace variable, evid, and the ID field of the structure, evdetails:

evid =

ev1


evdetails = 

           ID: 'ev1'
    EventType: 'EntityGeneration'
    EventTime: 0
     Priority: '1'
