Field Detail

modelFile

public FileParameter modelFile
The file to store the model.

Constructor Detail

WriteModel

public WriteModel(CompositeEntity container,
                  java.lang.String name)
           throws IllegalActionException,
                  NameDuplicationException
Construct an event with the given name contained by the specified composite entity. The container argument must not be null, or a NullPointerException will be thrown. This event will use the workspace of the container for synchronization and version counts. If the name argument is null, then the name is set to the empty string. Increment the version of the workspace. This constructor write-synchronizes on the workspace.

Parameters:
container - The container.
name - The name of the state.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the state cannot be contained by the proposed container.
NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with that of an entity already in the container.
Method Detail

fire

public Event.RefiringData fire(Token arguments)
                        throws IllegalActionException
Process this event and stores the model in the model parameter into the file.

Overrides:
fire in class Event
Parameters:
arguments - The arguments used to process this event, which must be either an ArrayToken or a RecordToken.
Returns:
A refiring data structure that contains a non-negative double number if refire() should be called after that amount of model time, or null if refire() need not be called.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the file cannot be saved, or if thrown by the superclass.
