IModelling.Division

Syntax

Division(Division: Variant; Divisor: Variant): Variant;

Parameters

Division. Division.

Divisor. Divisor.

Description

The Division method returns quotient of pointwise division of two variables.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a modeling container with the MS identifier. This container includes a model with the MODEL_D identifier that is calculated by the determinate equation method and contains more than one input variable.

Add links to the Metabase and Ms system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    Mb: IMetabase;
    ModelSpace, ModelObj: IMetabaseObject;
    Transf: IMsFormulaTransform;
    Formula: IMsFormula;
    Model: IMsModel;
    Determ: IMsDeterministicTransform;
    TransVar: IMsFormulaTransformVariable;
    Slice: IMsFormulaTransformSlice;
    TermInfo: IMsFormulaTermInfo;
    Inp_1, Inp_2: String;
    Expr: IExpression;
Begin
    Mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    ModelSpace := Mb.ItemById("MS").Bind;
    ModelObj := Mb.ItemByIdNamespace("MODEL_D", ModelSpace.Key).Edit;
    Model := ModelObj As IMsModel;
    Transf := Model.Transform;
    Formula := Transf.FormulaItem(0);
    Determ := Formula.Method As IMsDeterministicTransform;
    TransVar := Transf.Inputs.Item(0);
    Slice := TransVar.Slices.Item(0);
    TermInfo := Transf.CreateTermInfo;
    TermInfo.Slice := Slice;
    TermInfo.Type := MsFormulaTermType.Pointwise;
    Inp_1 := TermInfo.TermInnerText;
    TransVar := Transf.Inputs.Item(1);
    Slice := TransVar.Slices.Item(0);
    TermInfo := Transf.CreateTermInfo;
    TermInfo.Slice := Slice;
    TermInfo.Type := MsFormulaTermType.Pointwise;
    Inp_2 := TermInfo.TermInnerText;
    Expr := Determ.Expression;
    Expr.References := "Ms";
    Expr.AsString := "Division(" + Inp_1 + ","+ Inp_2 +")";
    If Expr.Valid
    Then ModelObj.Save;
    Else Debug.WriteLine("Model is not saved: error in formula");
    End If;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the model will calculate quotient of division of the first input variable to the second one.

Example of Use in Expressions

Expression 1:

Division({Brazil|BCA},{Albania|BCA})

Result: the Brazil|BCA factor data is divided pointwise to the Albania|BCA factor data.

Use: it can be used in formulas of cross functional expression editor in any platform tool where it is available.

Expression 2:

Division(X1,7)

Result: each point of the X1 factor is divided to seven.

Use: it can be used in model formulas of modeling container.

Expression 3:

Division(100, 4)

Result: 25.

Application: it can be used in any expressions.
