Specification for Simulation Time

1. Overview

1. Functions

• The SimulationTime class manages simulation time related information as follows.
  • Start time of the simulation scenario
  • Elapsed time of the simulation scenario
  • Current time of the simulation scenario
  • Update timing of calculations
    • Attitude update, orbit update, thermal update, component update
  • Update timing of log output and display output

  • SimulationTime class is defined.

• src/environment/global/global_environment.cpp, .hpp
  • SimulationTime class is used here as a member variable of GlobalEnvironment class.
• src/environment/global/initialize_global_environment.cpp, .hpp
  • SimulationTime class is instanced here based on the simulation_base.ini file.

3. How to use

• Call UpdateTime function to increment time of the simulation scenario.
• Users can get time related information by using the getter functions.
