FIinitializeHandler
Syntax
fih = new FInitializeHandler("stmt", [obj])
fih = new FInitializeHandler(type, "stmt", [obj])
Description
Install an initialization handler statement to be called during a call to finitialize()
. The default type is 1. The statement will be executed at the top level of the interpreter or else in the context of the optional obj arg.
Type 0 handlers are called before the mechanism INITIAL blocks.
Type 1 handlers are called after the mechanism INITIAL blocks. This is the best place to change state values.
Type 2 handlers are called just before return from finitialize. This is the best place to record values at t=0.
Type 3 handlers are called at the beginning of finitialize. At this point it is allowed to change the structure of the model.
See finitialize()
for more details about the order of initialization processes within that function.

This class helps alleviate the administrative problems of maintaining variations of the proc Init.

access a
forall insert hh

printf(" a.v=%g a.m_hh=%g\n", a.v, a.m_hh)
a.v = 10
}
proc fi1() {
print "fi1() called after INITIAL blocks but before BREAKPOINT blocks"
print " or variable step initialization."
print " Good place to change any states."
printf(" a.v=%g a.m_hh=%g\n", a.v, a.m_hh)
printf(" b.v=%g b.m_hh=%g\n", b.v, b.m_hh)
b.v = 10
}
proc fi2() {
print "fi2() called after everything initialized. Just before return"
print " from finitialize."
print " Good place to record or plot initial values"
printf(" a.v=%g a.m_hh=%g\n", a.v, a.m_hh)
printf(" b.v=%g b.m_hh=%g\n", b.v, b.m_hh)

call.
