Model Execution: Concepts and Terms : Simulation Scope : Status Of The System

Status Of The System

Throughout the remainder of this section, the term status of the system is defined to include:

Status of activities in the scope (active, hanging ornactive)
The set of states the system is in (configuration)
Values of all conditions and data-items in the scope
Events generated in the previous simulation step

Context variables (their name begins with a dollar ($) sign), are not part of the status of the system. They do not retain their value from one step to another.
