Most users are familiar with creating their own attributes within objects within an Aimsun model. These will typically be numbers or strings but it is also possible to add a column to an object where a value is returned based on some Python Code, allowing a value to be calculated on the fly.
A simple example is one that places a label letter on a turn to say whether it is Left, Through, Right or U-Turn.

Firstly we could create this column using the Types Editor (by selecting the relevant object type from the Types window), then adding a new column of Column Type Function, in this case one that returns a string as a result.

The function needs to contain a Python function with signature of the form:
def eval_attr(object):
which returns a value with the result.
Here is the code we store inside the column
def determineTurningLetterForAngle(angle): dirString = "" if abs(angle)<30.0: dirString+="T" elif abs(angle)>150.0:< dirString+="U" elif angle>0.0: dirString+="L" else: dirString+="R" return dirString def retrieveTurningLetterForTurning(turning): angle = turning.calcAngleSections() directionString = determineTurningLetterForAngle(angle) return directionString def eval_attr(object): res = retrieveTurningLetterForTurning(object) return res
However we can create all this from a script which creates the column, and populates the code.
The code to set up the column directly from a Python script is as follows:
def main():
turnLetterAttr = model.getColumn("GKTurning::TurnLetter")
if turnLetterAttr == None:
turningType = model.getType("GKTurning")
turnLetterAttr =
turningType.addColumn("GKTurning::TurnLetter","TurnLetter",
GKColumn.String, GKColumn.ePython)
turnLetterAttr.setPythonCode(PYTHON_CODE_STRING)
main()
PYTHON_CODE_STRING contains the definition of the function.
