#3690 closed enhancement (fixed)

Improve simulation settings and adding "interval" as parameter

Reported by: Dietmar Winkler Owned by: Adeel Asghar

Component: OMEdit Version: v1.9.4-dev-nightly
Keywords: interval Cc:

Description

The OMEdit simulation setup is currently missing one option and placing another one in a non-expected place.

  1. One can specify the non-standard NumberOfIntervals which then gets correctly stored as interval but there is no way to directly enter the interval. Both fields should be available where the one is calculated based on whatever setting is done in the last edited one.
  1. The general tab contains the section "Simulation Interval" but that only contains the "Start Time" and "Stop Time" but not the actually number of intervals or interval itself (see 1.). For this one needs to switch to the Output tab. Now I see that it is an output parameter but at the same time simulation time, solver and number of intervals/interval are the most often used settings between simulation runs and should be on the same settings tab to avoid unnecessary clicks.

The implementation looks good. Still something that could be improved further (if that is possible):

  1. Would it be possible that the fields "Number of Intervals" and "Interval" interact with each other. I.e., a model has "NumberOfIntervals = 500" and "Interval = 0.002". The user changes the "NumberOfIntervals" field to 1000. Would it be possible to update now the "Interval" field automatically to display 0.001. I'm unsure on what trigger that would happen. Either when another field is clicked or if the radio button is switched to it.
  2. Would it be possible to "deactivate" the non-active field. E.g., greyed out.

I'm not reopening this ticket now. And maybe this should actually be a new enhancement ticket. Btw option 1 would make OMEdit superior to you know what tool ;-)

Done in 49aab94/OMEdit.

Calculates the "Number of Intervals" and "Interval" when the radio button is switched.
