    Syntax

    value = getScenarioVariable(rrApp,name)
    [value,rrVar] = getScenarioVariable(rrApp,name)

    Description

    value = getScenarioVariable(rrApp,name) returns the value of a variable in the current scenario with the specified name.

    example

    [value,rrVar] = getScenarioVariable(rrApp,name) returns a structure, rrVar, for the variable in the current scenario with the specified name. The structure rrVar consists of the name, string value, and typed value of the variable. The TypedValue field is empty for unsupported variable types.

    Open Live Script

    Get a scenario variable in RoadRunner Scenario using MATLAB.

    Call the roadrunner function and pass in the location where you want to create the project. This example assumes that RoadRunner is installed in its default location in Windows.

    Specify the path to an existing project. For example, this code shows the path to a project located at "C:\RR\MyProject". This call returns an object rrApp that provides functions for performing basic workflow tasks such as opening, closing, and saving scenes and projects

    projectFolder = "C:\RR\MyProject";
rrApp = roadrunner(projectFolder);

    Open an existing scenario in RoadRunner Scenario by calling the openScenario function and passing it the rrApp object and the specific scenario filename that you want to open. This call opens the desired scenario in the RoadRunner Scenario application through MATLAB.

    filename = "MyScenario.rrscenario";
openScenario(rrApp,filename);

    Get the value of a scenario variable. Call the getScenarioVariable function and pass it the rrApp object and the variable whose value you want to retrieve. For example, this call retrieves a value of 17.88 as the initial speed of the Ambulance in the scenario, MyScenario. This example has an existing variable, Ambulance_InitialSpeed.

    name = "Ambulance_InitialSpeed";
value = getScenarioVariable(rrApp,name);

    Input Arguments

    RoadRunner application associated with a project, specified as a roadrunner object. This object provides functions for performing common workflow tasks such as opening, closing, and saving scenes and projects. rrApp provides functions that support importing data from files and exporting scenes to other formats from RoadRunner.

    Name of variable to retrieve value, specified as a character vector or string scalar. If the specified variable does not exist in the scenario, it results in an error. For more details on creating variables in a scenario, see Generate Scenario Variations.

    Example: getScenarioVariable(rrApp,"Ambulance_InitialSpeed); retrieves the initial speed of the Ambulance vehicle.

    Output Arguments

    collapse all

    Value assigned to variable, returned as a character vector or string scalar.

    Example: getScenarioVariable(rrApp,"Ambulance_InitialSpeed") retrieves the initial speed as 17.88 m/s assigned of the Ambulance vehicle.

    The variable values, returned as a structure with these fields:

    • Name — Name of the variable.

    • Value — String value of the variable.

    • TypedValue — Value of the variable as displayed in RoadRunner, such as an integer or double. The TypedValue field is empty for unsupported variable types.
