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 ( )
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

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.

Definition at line 65 of file SimulationTime.cpp.

References mpInstance.

Referenced by Instance(), and AbstractCellBasedTestSuite::tearDown().

void SimulationTime::IncrementTimeOneStep ( )

Increment the simulation time by one time step.

GetTime() will return an updated current time after this call.

a pointer to the simulation time object. The first time this is called the simulation time object is created.

void SimulationTime::ResetEndTimeAndNumberOfTimeSteps ( const double rEndTime,
const unsigned rNumberOfTimeStepsInThisRun 
)

Reset method for the end time and the number of time steps, to run the simulation further after a first initial run.

Parameters
rEndTimethe new end time for this simulation (the simulation will run from the current time to this new end time, NOT from 0 to this end time)
rNumberOfTimeStepsInThisRunthe number of time steps into which the next run is split
