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::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.

Member Function Documentation

Destroy()

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.

GetTime()

double SimulationTime::GetTime

(

)

const

Get the simulation time (in hours), should not have rounding errors.

Returns

simulation time
