Returns a Boolean value indicating that the object will or will not take part in simulations. Activity checking is done recursively and through the group mechanism, so you get a true indication as to whether this element is truly active (accessing the attr.active field will not tell you this).
Note: | This function will NOT work reliably in the "spreadsheet" mode, and therefore must be enclosed in an eval ( ) function call. |
Format
DB_ACTIVE (object)
Argument
object | A database object about which activity information is desired. |
Example
The following is an illustration of how the DB_ACTIVE function is used:
in condition=(eval (db_active(.model_1.part_1))) ! Then the part and all of its children will be included in ! subsequent simulations.end
