(read only)


This property returns an array of doubles containing the progress of all existing actors in % for the active simulation job.


Example


% Create DSS object

DSSObject = actxserver('OpenDSSEngine.DSS')

if ~DSSObject.Start(0),

                    disp('Unable to start openDSS');

                    return

end;

DSSText = DSSObject.Text;

DSSCircuit = DSSObject.ActiveCircuit;

% Handler for Parallel processing functions

DSSParallel = DSSCircuit.Parallel;    

% Gets the number of CPUs this PC has

CPUs = DSSParallel.NumCPUs;    

% By default one actor is created, if you want more than one

% parallel instance you will have to create them. Try to leave at least

% One CPU available to handle the rest of windows, otherwise will block everything

disp('Creating Actors');

DSSText.Command = 'compile "C:\Program Files\OpenDSS\EPRITestCircuits\ckt5\Master_ckt5.DSS"';

DSSText.Command = 'set maxiterations=1000 maxcontroliter=1000';   % Just in case

DSSCircuit.Solution.Solve(); % Solves Actor 1


DSSText.Command = ['Clone ',int2str(CPUs-2)]; %Creates the other actors

DSSText.Command = 'set ActiveActor=*';        %activates all actors to send commands concurrently

DSSText.Command = 'set mode=Time stepsize=1h number=16000';


% to send commands to each actor separately you need to select each actor independently

% Go back to actor 1

DSSParallel.ActiveActor = 1; 

% Assigns CPU 0 to actor 1

DSSParallel.ActorCPU = 0;   

% Activates the parallel features

DSSParallel.ActiveParallel = 1; 


% Now the actors are solved

DSSCircuit.Solution.SolveAll;

 

pause(0.1); 

BoolStatus      =   0;

while BoolStatus == 0,

    ActorStatus     =   DSSParallel.ActorStatus;

    BoolStatus      =   all(ActorStatus & 1); %Checks if everybody has ended

    ActorProgress   =   DSSParallel.ActorProgress;

    clc;

    for i=1:CPUs-1,

        fprintf('Actor %i Progress(%%) @ CPU %i : %i\n',i,i-1,ActorProgress(i));

    end;

    pause(0.5);  %  A little wait to not saturate the Processor  

end;

disp('Simulation finished by all the actors');
