time loop
The time loop module is one of a limited set of Time Data modules. These modules are specifically designed to create models and animations of data that changes over time. This type of data can result from water table elevation and/or chemical measurements taken at discrete times or output from groundwater simulations or other 3D time-domain simulations.
The time loop module allows you to loop through a series of times or specify a time for interpolation from a time field.
Ports
| Direction | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Input Start Date | Date | Start Date used for animation range. |
| Input | Input End Date | Date | End Date used for animation range. |
| Input | Input Date | Date | Date of interest. |
| Output | Output Start Date | Date | Start Date used for animation range. |
| Output | Output End Date | Date | End Date used for animation range. |
| Output | Output Date | Date | Date used for interpolating between dates in a time control file format. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Date And Time | Date | The Date and Time of interest. |
| Time Loop | Loop | The Time Loop controls setting the Date and Time by specified increments. |
| Start Date | Date | The Start Date is the beginning time of the simulation. |
| End Date | Date | The End Date is the end time for the simulation. |
| Step Time Units | Choice: Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Years | The Step Time Units specify the increment for advancement when stepping or running. |
| Step Size | Double | The Step Size value specifies a factor, along with the Step Time Units, for the increment for advancement when stepping or running. |
