virtual iteration_time helics::Core::requestTimeIterative ( LocalFederateId  federateID,

pure virtual

Request a new time advancement window for reiterative federates.

Reiterative federates block on requestTimeIterative() until all reiterative federates have invoked requestTimeIterative(). The bool returned a global AND of all localConverged values. If globalConverged is false, time returned is the previous granted time. Time should not advance and another iteration attempted. Federates should recompute state based on newly published values. Time is advanced only when all reiterative federates have converged. If globalConverged is True, grantedTime is the minimum of over all next times in both reiterative and non-reiterative federates.

If a federate determines it cannot converge it should invoke the error() method.

Federates only participate it in reiterations for times that are evenly divisible by the federates time delta.

May only be invoked in Executing state.

Non-reiterative federates may not invoke this method.

Parameters
federateIDthe identifier for the federate to process
nextthe requested time
iteratethe requested iteration mode /ref iteration_request
