Accessing wall clock time from Scheme or UDF

July 6, 2005, 18:24

I am currently trying to simulate a process in real time. But for synchronization I would like to somehow access the current time (as in wall clock time).

Does anybody know how to do this? The CURRENT_TIME macro accesses only the current simulated time.

I might be able to use (cpu-time) as this seems to be the time fluent has been open and running (windows). But how do I access this time from within a UDF? RP_Get_Real(cpu-time) does not seem to work.

Any help is appreciated, thanks

Hello! I am also interested in this question.

How can one obtain a real time during computations?
There is a way to get a so-called CPU-time by typing in the Console:
(solver-cpu-time)
Is there something similar to this command?

Another question, how to use a value get by "(solver-cpu-time)" in UDFs?
Angelo Sozzi, did you solve the problem?

Thank you.
