datatype of global table

Hi,

I would like to use addRow and addCol methods of Table class but I do not know about datatype.

In the attached model, I am trying to confirm the correspondence between numbers and datatypes but I did not get the expectes output.

Is there any correspondence table?

Datatype_of_GlobalTable.fsm

Thanks in advance.

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.8

You can check the defines to correlate types to numbers.

In regards to the "particle" type I found the following in the 19.0 documentation. It seems to have been outdated by quite some time.

Adding, also documented on the treenode API syntax description.

Thank you for your reply.

In the 5th line of the script, I use the addRow method to add a row by specifying the datatype from 1 to 7, but when I output it to the output console in the 8th line of the script, the values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 6, 7 which is strange.

Numberdata, Stringdata, Pointerdata, Arraydata, FlexScriptdata, Bundledata and TrackedVariabledata were assigned to the 1st to 7th rows of the global table using the operations shown below, but the output console shows 1, 2, 3, 7, 2, 6, 7. The same number appears and I don't get the point.

What I ultimately want to know is the second argument of the addRow method when I want to assign Numberdata, Stringdata, Pointerdata, Arraydata, FlexScriptdata, Bundledata and TrackedVariabledata.

I think the data type of the second argument of the addRow method and the data type of treenode are slightly different.

A Flexscript node still just contains text data, so its data type is string. The difference is what happens when the node is accessed which is controlled by whether or not the node is toggled and build as Flexscript.

For how you can do that by code, see the respective commands below.

Similarly, there is no dedicated data type for arrays or tracked variables which both use the simple type. For the tracked variables, you would first initialize the variable and then assign it to the table cell.

And as mentioned, the particle type is deprecated and not supported anymore. Hence the fifth added row has not been assigned a (valid) data type.

Thank you for your information.

I have realized that Array(), TrackedVariable.init(), and node toggles are necessary when assigning Arrays, Tracked Variables, and FlexScripts to table cells.
