State Machine Simulation

[philchudley]

Hi All

When executing a state machine simulation with behaviour of state operations specified in JavaScript and using Interpreted simulation, is there a maximum number of steps / simulation code instructions that are executed?

If so, can this be configured?

I have a simple state machine, that goes into a "flip flop" between states (i.e. it never ends) this is deliberate, strange though it sounds. When I run the simulation, it ends automatically after seemingly random number of steps.

In order to simulate a delay in a state, I have used the following code

sim.endOfPhase = false;
while (!sim.endOfPhase) {

         sim.endOfPhase = (Math.floor(Math.random()*100+1) == 1);
        Trace("end of night  phase  = " + sim.endOfPhase);
}

This code is in a behaviour of each "flip flop" state, so that the simulation just simply oscillate between states very rapidly.

It appears, that there is some kind a execution limit, but can anyone confirm this?

Cheers

Phil

I have the same issue with EA 12.1.

The FSM with Javascript guards and conditions stops after few steps.

Hi,
same issue too.
