Tecnomatix Plant Simulation Basics: Anonymous Identifiers in Methods Explained
Welcome to Plant Simulation Pro! In today’s tutorial, we’re diving into the world of anonymous identifiers in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation.
What You’ll Learn:
1. Object Reference Identifiers:
Understand how the @ and ? symbols work as anonymous identifiers to dynamically reference objects and their locations in the simulation, making your methods more adaptable and flexible.
In-Depth Example: We’ll walk you through a simple model to showcase how to use @ to refer to the MU triggering the control and ? to refer to the station location.
2. Frame Reference Identifiers:
Learn how to use Root, Current, and ~ to reference different frames in your model hierarchy, which can simplify frame access and improve method flexibility.
In-Depth Example: We'll explore how Root refers to the topmost frame, Current to the frame where the method resides, and ~ to the previous frame. Practical examples with multiple frames and stations will be provided.
3. Method Reference Identifiers:
We’ll also cover the Self identifier, which allows you to reference and execute the current method repeatedly, making it perfect for ongoing actions within the simulation.
In-Depth Example: A practical example using the Self identifier and a global variable to automate the method execution every 5 seconds will be demonstrated.
