6.3.1.2                     Kinetic Styles

This section gives more details on the kinetic style concept. The table below specifies the mathematical formula that is used to calculate the entity value change (delta) for all the various kinetic styles. Also, the parameters used for each kinetic style are listed in the table

 

Kinetic style

Process type

Formula for the change value delta

custom

 

parameter:

speed / add

 

 

continuous

(speed calc style)

 

delta = speed * sampling interval

 

discrete

(add calc style)

 

delta = add

 

connector custom

 

parameters:

speed / add / update for each connector

 

 

continuous

(speed calc style)

 

delta = connector_speed * sampling_interval

 

discrete

(add calc style)

 

delta = connector_add

 

mass

 

parameters:

coefficient1, coefficient2,

stoichiometry for each connector

 

 

continuous

(speed calc style)

 

delta = m_product * coefficient1 * coefficient2^[number_of_input_entities] * stoichiometry *

sampling_interval

 

where m_product is the product of all input entity values. For the input entity variables (m1, m2, ..., mN)

m_product = m1 * m2 * ... * mN

 

discrete

(add calc style)

 

delta = m_product * coefficient1 * coefficient2^[number_of_input_entities] * stoichiometry

 

where m_product is the product of all input entity values. For the input entity variables (m1, m2, ..., mN)

m_product = m1 * m2 * ... * mN

 

stochastic mass

 

parameters:

coefficient1, coefficient2,

standard deviation and

stoichiometry for each connector

 

 

continuous

(speed calc style)

 

delta is randomly generated using the Gaussian distribution with the calculated delta_mean and specified standard deviation.

 

delta_mean is calculated using the formula for the mass kinetic style:

 

delta_mean = delta_mass (coefficient1, coefficient2, stoichiometry)

 

 

discrete

(add calc style)

 

delta is randomly generated using the Gaussian distribution with the calculated delta_mean and specified standard deviation

 

delta_mean is calculated using the formula for the mass kinetic style:

 

delta_mean = delta_mass (coefficient1, coefficient2, stoichiometry)

 

connector rate

 

parameters:

rate and

stoichiometry for each connector

 

 

 

continuous

(speed calc style)

 

delta = rate * stoichiometry * sampling_interval

 

 

discrete

(add calc style)

 

delta = rate * stoichiometry
