4.1.3 Actor description

 Image Added

Fig. 2. FC2K actor description


This group of graphical controls allows to set the description of the actor and its "place" in hierarchy of Kepler elements in Kepler "Component" browser

...

 

Warning

A name of user subroutine must be exactly the same as it was defined in user code

 

4.1.4 Environment

Image Added

Below you can find explanation of FC2K arguments tab.

Fig. 24. "Arguments" tab
  • Type - Defines a type of an argument. It is possible to choose either IDS based type (e.g. equilibrium, topinfo, etc.) or primitive type (e.g. int, long, double, char)
  • Single slice - Determines if IDS is passed as single slice or an array. (This setting is valid for IDS types only )
    • if turned ON - Only one slice is passed. An actor will get an additional port to define a time.
    • if turned OFF - All IDSes for given shot run is passed.
  • Is array - Determines if a primitive type  is passed as a scalar or an array
    • if turned ON - An argument is passed as an array. It requires definition of array size (dynamic array are not supported) 
    • if turned OFF - An argument is passed as a scalar.
  • Array size - Defines the size of an array of primitive types
  • Input - Defines argument as an input
  • Output - Defines argument as an output
  • Label - User defined name of an argument (and actor port)

 

Warning

Restrictions concerning type and order of arguments

Arguments specified in this tab must match a type and order of arguments of the routine/function.

...

Code specific parameters are all parameters which are specific to the code (like switches, scaling parameters, and parameters for built-in analytical models) as well as parameters to explicitly overrule fields in the ITM data structures.

Fig. 46. "Parameters" tab
  • Frequently Used XML - Actual value of the code parameters
  • Default XML - Default values of the code parameters
  • Schema - A (XSD) XML schema

4.1.7 "Source" tab explained

Fig. 57. "Source" tab

The purpose of this tab is to define all code related issues:

...

A user, using this tab, selects programming language of codes provided, compiler used to built library and type of code execution (sequential or parallel)

Fig. 68. "Source" tab - code description

...

"Main library" field allows to define a path to library containing user subroutine/function.

Fig. 79. "Source" tab - A path to "main" library

...

"Custom libraries" are non-standard static libraries required for building the user code.

Fig. 810. "Source" tab - A list of "custom" libraries

...

"System libraries" are system libraries handled by pkg-config mechanism and required for building the user code.

Fig. 911. "Source" tab - A list of "system" libraries

...

  • add library from the list,
  • remove library
  • display detailed info (library definition returned by pkg-config mechanism)

Fig. 1012. Adding "system" libraries

...

The "Documentation" tab specifies an user-defined Kepler actor description. It could be displayed from actor pop-up menu.
