Built-in functions : in_preceding function

in_preceding function -- new in Simile v5.7

Usage: in_preceding(expression of any type) returns that type

Definition: Used in a multi-instance submodel, returns the value of the argument expression  as it would be in the preceding instance of that submodel, or 0 or "false" in the first instance. The argument can include the function prev(0) to refer to the value in the previous submodel instance of the component in whose equation the in_preceding() function appears.

maximum lines in a table()

I've a student attempting an analysis of spatial interactions between trees, using a total of 20636 observations. This causes some problems. You can see for yourself by creating a csv file with 20636 random numbers, and attempting to read them into a variable with the table feature. Is there a limit on the size of tables - or a work around this challenge? Simile 5.6 on WinXP.

Thanks

Make resizing large submodel windows easier

 [introduction cut] I find it is very difficult to click on the outline of the submodel accurately enough to be able to resize the window. I have tried snapping to grid which helps a little, but it is still a bit intermittent. It would be nice if this were made slightly easier in future releases (or is there an option box somewhere to type in the height and width of the box?)

This is a child page of the Simile-and-SBML book

Hello, I'm a child page.

Geotiff

I am having issues when I try to load Geotiffs. I have tried using a fixed or variable parameter type, and I have also tried defining a 2d array in the equation box, but whenever I try to load the values in, I get a number of errors, one of which is that /node00000/var2 at indices 0 the following problem occurred: Missing value (this repeats at various indices through the data). Also there are other errors about 0 appearing twice as time. The data is just meant to be loaded in as a 2-d array, it is not supposed to change through time. Do you know what the issue is?

Thanks
