I'd like to employ a user event to periodically check whether or not a condition has been met during a model run. If the condition has been met I want to add one or more processors in my model as members to a MTBF/MTTR. Is there a straightforward way to add members to a MTBF/MTTR using code?
There is a variable "enabled" in the MTBF/MTTR, but it has to be set before reset - it seems to be meant purely to enable/disable the event in its properties (checkbox at the top right) or from the Experimenter.
If you know beforehand on which object you may want the event to apply, you can also change the Down Function and Resume Function. For example, the Down Function by default does
stopobject(downobject ,state, id, priority);
It is pretty straightforward to put an if-statement with your condition around this and just make the trigger do nothing if the condition has not been met.
from the previous forum, I found this. The command is memberadd(). But you should look into the link, too.
@Noah Zenker This is how you would add a processor to an MTBF/MTTR:
treenode theobject = model().find("Processor1");
memberadd(theobject, "MTBFMTTR1", 2);
However, as @phil.bobo mentioned in the forum post, this should be done before resetting your model. I don't think you would be able to do this during a model run, but I may be mistaken.
The Toolbox > Modeling Logic > Model Trigger > On Reset code fires before the reset triggers of all the objects, so if you need to execute code before your model is reset, you can execute it there.
