Understanding Class Collection.Solver
This is the primary class in which the Mixer solver is implemented. The solver is implemented with three methods: 1) Naive Gauss Elimination, 2) LU Decomposition, and 3) Call MATLAB Engine. It obtains the l-h-s and the r-h-s constants of the linear equations from the constant matrix and the reactor table. After calculation, the results are stored in one of the columns in the reactor table.
An instance of this class has to be created in order to perform the calculation process. In order to obtain the results successfully, the names of the reactor table, the constant matrix, the inverse matrix and the scratch matrix must be entered with the corresponding reference objects created.
Reactor Table (rReactor): is an object reference to the reactor table.
Constant Matrix (rConstant): is an object reference to the constant matrix.
Inverse Matrix (rInverse): is an object reference to the inverse matrix.
Scratch Matrix for Temporaries (rScratch): is an object reference to the scratch matrix, needed during the solving process.
Begin Run (SG_xBgnRun): is mainly used by the Call MATLAB Engine option to open a connection to a local MATLAB engine and create necessary matrices.
End Run (SG_xEndRun): resets the reactor counter in the simulation control object to 0 for the next run. It is also used by the MATLAB option to clean up allocated memory and close the MATLAB engine.
Evaluation (SG_xEval): acts as a dispatcher to switch among the solution methods according to the Solver Type set in the simulation control object. The three solution functions, solveLinearEquationsGauss, solveLinearEquationsLUD, and solveLinearEquationsMatlab, can be found in the source files Collection_Solver.c and Collection_Solver.f.
Post-Evaluation (SG_xPostEval): advances the system clock by incrementing the current simulated time in the simulation control object.
