sedb.simtime - Package: sedb

Current time in discrete-event simulation

Syntax

t = simtime

Description

t = simtime, at the SimEvents debugger command prompt, returns the current simulation time.

Examples

Set a breakpoint to advance the simulation by 2 s from the current time:

1. Begin a debugger session for a particular model. At the MATLAB command prompt, enter:

   sedebug('sedemo_count_attributes')

2. Use the current time to set a breakpoint. At the sedebug>> prompt, enter:

   t = simtime;
   tbreak(t+2)

   The following output confirms the setting of the breakpoint:

   Set b1 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 2.000000

3. Run the simulation until the breakpoint:

   cont

   The output describes simulation behavior and then confirms that the debugger has reached the breakpoint. Here is an excerpt:

   Hit b1 : Breakpoint for first operation at or after time 2.000000

   Executing EntityGeneration Event (ev3)                Time = 2.000000000000000
   : Entity = <none>                                     Priority = 1
   : Block  = Time-Based Entity Generator

4. End the debugger session. At the sedebug>> prompt, enter:

   sedb.quit
