Reference to object via name (SIMTALK)

[FeuerTim]

Hello all,

I'm coming around with a near-weekend-problem.

I would like to create an object in a sub-assembly. This should be done by referencing the sub-assembly by its name. The names of sub-assemblies are stored in a table (in the first column).

I'm currently thinking of a loop likely to this one:

for i := 1 to table.ydim loop

  .Materialflow.Singleproc.createObject(.Models.Network.%NAME FROM TABLE%, 20, 20)

next;

That sort of doesn't work. Is there a way to use strings as arguments in the createObject method?

Thanks already for reading

Tim

Hi Tim,

you can use the following syntax:

.Materialflow.Singleproc.createObject(.Models.Network.extendPath("Test"), 20, 20)
