Detailed Description

An InputPort is a System resource that describes the kind of input a System accepts, on a given port.

It does not directly contain any runtime input port data; that is always contained in a Context. The actual value will be either the value of an OutputPort to which this is connected, or a fixed value set in a Context.

InputPortBase is the scalar type-independent part of an InputPort.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ EvalAbstractCallback

using EvalAbstractCallback = std::function<const AbstractValue*(const ContextBase&)>

protected

Signature of a function suitable for returning the cached value of a particular input port.

Will return nullptr if the port is not connected.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~InputPortBase()

~InputPortBase ( )

overridedefault

◆ InputPortBase()

InputPortBase	(	internal::SystemMessageInterface *	owning_system,
		internal::SystemId	owning_system_id,
		std::string	name,
		InputPortIndex	index,
		DependencyTicket	ticket,
		PortDataType	data_type,
		int	size,
		const std::optional< RandomDistribution > &	random_type,
		EvalAbstractCallback	eval
	)

protected

Provides derived classes the ability to set the base class members at construction.

Parameters

owning_system	The System that owns this input port.
owning_system_id	The ID of owning_system.
name	A name for the port. Input port names should be non-empty and unique within a single System.
index	The index to be assigned to this InputPort.
ticket	The DependencyTicket to be assigned to this InputPort.
data_type	Whether the port described is vector- or abstract-valued.
size	If the port described is vector-valued, the number of elements. Ignored for abstract-valued ports.
random_type	Input ports may optionally be labeled as random, if the port is intended to model a random-source "noise" or "disturbance" input.

Member Function Documentation

◆ DoEvalOptional()

const AbstractValue* DoEvalOptional ( const ContextBase & context ) const

protected

Evaluate this port; returns nullptr if the port is not connected.

◆ DoEvalRequired()

const AbstractValue& DoEvalRequired ( const ContextBase & context ) const

protected

Evaluate this port; throws an exception if the port is not connected.

◆ get_data_type()

PortDataType get_data_type

Returns the port data type.

◆ get_index()

InputPortIndex get_index ( ) const

Returns the index of this input port within the owning System.

For a Diagram, this will be the index within the Diagram, not the index within a LeafSystem whose input port was exported.

◆ get_name()

const std::string& get_name

Get port name.

◆ get_random_type()

std::optional<RandomDistribution> get_random_type ( ) const

Returns the RandomDistribution if this is a random port.

◆ GetFullDescription()

std::string GetFullDescription

Returns a verbose human-readable description of port.

This is useful for error messages or debugging.

◆ is_random()

bool is_random ( ) const

Returns true if this is a random port.

◆ size()

int size

Returns the fixed size expected for a vector-valued port.

Not meaningful for abstract-valued ports.

◆ ThrowRequiredMissing()

void ThrowRequiredMissing ( ) const

protected

Throws an exception that this port is not connected, but was expected to be connected (i.e., an Eval caller expected that it was always connected).

◆ ticket()

DependencyTicket ticket

(Advanced.) Returns the DependencyTicket for this port within the owning System.
