Overload Priority Index

Class Name: Overload Priority Index

Superclass - <SEDRIS Abstract Base>

Subclasses

This DRM class is concrete and has no subclasses.

Definition

An instance of this DRM class allows a data provider to assign an overload management priority to the definition of a <Model> or to the reference of a <Model> (a <Geometry Model Instance>). The actual effect of the <Overload Priority Index> within an application is entirely dependent on the application. The <Overload Priority Index> is intended to allow a modeler to mark certain <Models> as more important than other <Models>, so that the more important <Models> will be displayed and the <Models> of lesser importance may be simplified or dropped from the display in an overload situation.

Example

  1. In a SEDRIS transmittal designed for a simulation that is more interested in rotary-winged aircraft than fixed-winged aircraft, all the helicopter <Model> instances may have an <Overload Priority Index> of 1, while all the airplane <Model> instances have an <Overload Priority Index> of 2.
