Species
Array of species in compartment object
Description
The Species
property is a property of the
compartment object and indicates all the species in a compartment
object. Species
is a read-only array of SimBiology® species
objects.
In the model object, Species
contains a flat
list of all the species that exist within all the compartments in
the model. You should always access a species through its compartment
rather than the model object. Use the format
,
for example, compartmentName.speciesName
nucleus.DNA
. Another example of the
syntax is modelObj.Compartments(2).Species(1)
.
The Species
property in the model object might
not be available in a future version of the software.
Species are entities that take part in reactions. A species
object is added to the Species
property when a
reaction is added to the model object with the method addreaction
.
A species object can also be added to the Species
property
with the method addspecies
.
If you remove a reaction with the method delete
,
and a species is no longer being used by any of the remaining reactions,
the species object is not removed from the Species
property.
You have to use the delete
method to remove species.
There are reserved characters that cannot be used in species
object names. See Name
for
more information.
