Documentation

Definition

Contains the definition of a sequence of transformations.

Use

In order to define a sequence of transformations, you assign a predecessor to a transformation. A transformation that has a predecessor is only executed if the predecessor transformation was not successful, that is, if the return parameter was "e_ok" or ' '. The system processes all transformations in the sequence determined by the "Sequence of the Transformation Call-Up". Therefore, it is not logical for a transformation to refer to a predecessor with a higher sequence. The system checks for each transformation with a predecessor only if the predecessor has been executed with a positive result.

Dependencies

Example

There are multiple ways of determining a material from given input data. Each determination method is implemented in a separate method. The methods are specified in the sequence corresponding to the hierarchy, they refer to their relevant precessor.
