PLANT INPUT VALUE (PINVAL)

Returns the run-time value of a plant input.

Format

PINVAL (Plant Input Name, Element Number)

Arguments

 
Plant Input Name
Name of the plant input to reference.
Element Number
The element number in the list of inputs for the given plant input name.

Example

model_1.PIN corresponds to a definition of a plant input list. This plant input list contains three input variables, defined as follows:
(model_1.VAR_1, model_1.VAR_2, model_1.VAR_3)
where:
model_1.VAR_1 = "sin(TIME)"
model_1.VAR_2 = "2"
model_1.VAR_3 = "5"
Then PINVAL(model_1.PIN, 3) is equal to 5 at all times in the simulation.
