vcDataContainer

General purpose Python wrapper for data such as event arguments. The available Properties are different depending on each use case.

Examples

Example. Custom transport controller to handle "Work" statements

from vcScript import *

global events

events = []

comp = getComponent()

def my_work(data_cont_):

# gets an event when "Work" statement gets executed

# store the "Work" data to "events" global list

global events

data = ["Work", data_cont_]

events.append(data)

trigger.signal(True)

def OnRun():

# simulation starts

global events

while True:

# waits until "events" global list has content

condition(lambda: events)

event = events.pop(0)

if event[0] == "Work":

data_cont = event[1]

# read data_cont (vcDataContainer)

work_id = data_cont.RequestId

work_time = data_cont.ProcessTime

resource_mtx = data_cont.ResourcePositionMatrix

#move_resource(resource_mtx) # not implemented

delay(work_time)

tc.workDone(work_id)

# initialize variables

tc = comp.findBehaviour("TransportController")

tc.OnBeginWorkEx = my_work

trigger = comp.findBehaviour('Trigger')
