Simulation Data

Every context has access to the simulation item. The “simulation” item contains details for the current time step and information about the simulation such as the reporting interval or the time step size.

Variable	Description
context.simulation.has_feb29	Returns true if simulation is running over a leap-year.
context.simulation.year_day	Returns the year day of the simulation, index from the 1^st January
context.simulation.week_day	Returns the week day type of the current simulation day, Monday = 1 etc.
context.simulation.hour	Returns the current hour.
context.simulation.minute	Returns the current minute.
context.simulation.step	Index of current time step.
context.simulation.time_step_size_mins	Returns the number of minutes in one simulation time step. {1, 2, 6, 10, 30}
context.simulation.reporting_interval_mins	Returns the reporting interval in minutes. {6, 10, 30, 60}
context.simulation.is_preconditioning	Is the current iteration part of the preconditioning period?

Simulation and Weather data variable are reported for the current iteration. All the other variables refer to values calculated during the previous time step.
