IntVar

class simframe.frame.IntVar(owner, value=0, snapshots=[], updater=None, description='', save=True, copy=False)[source]

Bases: Field

Cclass for integration variables that behaves as Field but has additional functionality with respect to stepsize management for integration.

Notes

The updater for integration variables is calculating the stepsize. The function associated to the updater needs the parent Frame object as first positional argument and needs to return the desired stepsize.

IntVar.update() does not update the integration variable. Try not to update the integration variable by hand. Let the Integrator do it for you.

Attributes:

Base object if memory is from some other object.

buffer

Methods Documentation

suggest(value, reset=False)[source]

Suggest a step size

For adaptive integration schemes, this function can be used to suggest a step size for the next integration step. If many vaiables are integrated this safes the smallest suggested step size in a temporary buffer accessible via IntVar.suggested.

Parameters:
  • value (Field) – Suggested step size

  • reset (boolean, optional, default : False) – If True, the previous value will be discarded.

update()[source]

Not used for IntVar.
