Detailed Description

Provides non-templatized functionality shared by the templatized System classes.

Terminology: in general a Drake System is a tree structure composed of "subsystems", which are themselves System objects. The corresponding Context is a parallel tree structure composed of "subcontexts", which are themselves Context objects. There is a one-to-one correspondence between subsystems and subcontexts. Within a given System (Context), its child subsystems (subcontexts) are indexed using a SubsystemIndex; there is no separate SubcontextIndex since the numbering must be identical.

Input port evaluation (deprecated)
These deprecated methods provide scalar type-independent evaluation of a System input port in a particular Context. Instead of these, prefer to use InputPort::Eval(), acquiring the port with `get_input_port(port_index)`. If necessary, the methods here first cause the port's value to become up to date, then they return a reference to the now-up-to-date value in the given Context. Specified preconditions for these methods operate as follows: The preconditions will be checked in Debug builds but some or all might not be checked in Release builds for performance reasons. If we do check, and a precondition is violated, an std::exception will be thrown with a helpful message. See also System::get_input_port(), InputPort::Eval() for scalar type-specific input port access.

Declare cache entries
Methods in this section are used by derived classes to declare cache entries for their own internal computations. (Other cache entries are provided automatically for well-known computations such as output ports and time derivatives.) Cache entries may contain values of any type, however the type for any particular cache entry is fixed after first allocation. Every cache entry must have an allocator function `Allocate()` and a calculator function `Calc()`. `Allocate()` returns an object suitable for holding a value of the cache entry. `Calc()` uses the contents of a given Context to produce the cache entry's value, which is placed in an object of the type returned by `Allocate()`. Prerequisites Correct runtime caching behavior depends critically on understanding the dependencies of the cache entry's `Calc()` function (we call those "prerequisites"). If none of the prerequisites has changed since the last time `Calc()` was invoked to set the cache entry's value, then we don't need to perform a potentially expensive recalculation. On the other hand, if any of the prerequisites has changed then the current value is invalid and must not be used without first recomputing. Currently it is not possible for Drake to infer prerequisites accurately and automatically from inspection of the `Calc()` implementation. Therefore, if you don't say otherwise, Drake will assume `Calc()` is dependent on all value sources in the Context, including time, state, input ports, parameters, and accuracy. That means the cache entry's value will be considered invalid if any of those sources has changed since the last time the value was calculated. That is safe, but can result in more computation than necessary. If you know that your `Calc()` method has fewer prerequisites, you may say so by providing an explicit list in the `prerequisites_of_calc` parameter. Every possible prerequisite has a DependencyTicket ("ticket"), and the list should consist of tickets. For example, if your calculator depends only on time (e.g. `Calc(context)` is `sin(context.get_time())`) then you would specify `prerequisites_of_calc={time_ticket()}` here. See Dependency tickets for a list of the possible tickets and what they mean. Warning It is critical that the prerequisite list you supply be accurate, or at least conservative, for correct functioning of the caching system. Drake cannot currently detect that a `Calc()` function accesses an undeclared prerequisite. Even assuming you have correctly listed the prerequisites, you should include a prominent comment in every `Calc()` implementation noting that if the implementation is changed then the prerequisite list must be updated correspondingly. A technique you can use to ensure that prerequisites have been properly specified is to make use of the Context's DisableCaching() method, which causes cache values to be recalculated unconditionally. You should get identical results with caching enabled or disabled, with speed being the only difference. You can also disable caching for individual cache entries in a Context, or specify that individual cache entries should be disabled by default when they are first allocated. See also ContextBase::DisableCaching() CacheEntry::disable_caching() CacheEntry::disable_caching_by_default() LeafOutputPort::disable_caching_by_default() Which signature to use? Although the allocator and calculator functions ultimately satisfy generic function signatures defined by a ValueProducer, we provide a variety of `DeclareCacheEntry()` signatures here for convenient specification, with mapping to the generic form handled invisibly. In particular, allocators are most easily defined by providing a model value that can be used to construct an allocator that copies the model when a new value object is needed. Alternatively a method can be provided that constructs a value object when invoked (those methods are conventionally, but not necessarily, named `MakeSomething()` where `Something` is replaced by the cache entry value type). Because cache entry values are ultimately stored in AbstractValue objects, the underlying types must be suitable. That means the type must be copy constructible or cloneable. For methods below that are not given an explicit model value or construction ("make") method, the underlying type must also be default constructible. See also drake::Value for more about abstract values.

Dependency tickets
Use these tickets to declare well-known sources as prerequisites of a downstream computation such as an output port, derivative, update, or cache entry. The ticket numbers for the built-in sources are the same for all systems. For time and accuracy they refer to the same global resource; otherwise they refer to the specified sources within the referencing system. A dependency ticket for a more specific resource (a particular input or output port, a discrete variable group, abstract state variable, a parameter, or a cache entry) is allocated and stored with the resource when it is declared. Usually the tickets are obtained directly from the resource but you can recover them with methods here knowing only the resource index.

This is the same ticket for all systems and refers to the same accuracy value.

◆ AddAbstractParameter()

void AddAbstractParameter ( AbstractParameterIndex index )

protected

(Internal use only) Assigns a ticket to a new abstract parameter with the given index.

Precondition: The supplied index must be the next available one; that is, indexes must be assigned sequentially.

◆ AddAbstractState()

protected

(Internal use only) Assigns a ticket to a new numeric parameter with the given index.

Precondition: The supplied index must be the next available one; that is, indexes must be assigned sequentially.

◆ AddOutputPort()

void AddOutputPort ( std::unique_ptr< OutputPortBase > port )

(Internal use only) Adds an already-constructed output port to this System.

Insists that the port already contains a reference to this System, and that the port's index is already set to the next available output port index for this System, and that the name of the port is unique.

◆ all_sources_except_input_ports_ticket()

static DependencyTicket all_sources_except_input_ports_ticket ( )

static

Returns a ticket indicating dependence on every possible independent source value except input ports.

This can be helpful in avoiding the incorrect appearance of algebraic loops in a Diagram (those always involve apparent input port dependencies). For an output port, use this ticket plus tickets for just the input ports on which the output computation actually depends. The sources included in this ticket are: time, accuracy, state, and parameters. Note that dependencies on cache entries are not included here. Usually that won't matter since cache entries typically depend on at least one of time, accuracy, state, or parameters so will be invalidated for the same reason the current computation is. However, for a computation that depends on a cache entry that depends only on input ports, be sure that you have included those input ports in the dependency list, or include a direct dependency on the cache entry.

See also: input_port_ticket() to obtain a ticket for an input port.; cache_entry_ticket() to obtain a ticket for a cache entry.; all_sources_ticket() to also include all input ports as dependencies.

◆ all_sources_ticket()

static DependencyTicket all_sources_ticket ( )

static

Returns a ticket indicating dependence on every possible independent source value, including time, accuracy, state, input ports, and parameters (but not cache entries).

This is the default dependency for computations that have not specified anything more refined. It is equivalent to the set {all_sources_except_input_ports_ticket(), all_input_ports_ticket()}.

See also: cache_entry_ticket() to obtain a ticket for a cache entry.

◆ all_state_ticket()

static DependencyTicket all_state_ticket ( )

static

Returns a ticket indicating dependence on all state variables x in this system, including continuous variables xc, discrete (numeric) variables xd, and abstract state variables xa.

This does not imply dependence on time, accuracy, parameters, or inputs; those must be specified separately. If you mean to express dependence on all possible value sources, use all_sources_ticket() instead.

◆ AllocateContext()

std::unique_ptr<ContextBase> AllocateContext ( ) const

Returns a Context suitable for use with this System.

Context resources are allocated based on resource requests that were made during System construction.

◆ assign_next_dependency_ticket()

DependencyTicket assign_next_dependency_ticket ( )

protected

(Internal use only) Assigns the next unused dependency ticket number, unique only within a particular system.

Each call to this method increments the ticket number.

◆ cache_entry_ticket()

DependencyTicket cache_entry_ticket ( CacheIndex index ) const

Returns a ticket indicating dependence on the cache entry indicated by index.

Note that cache entries are not included in the all_sources ticket so must be listed separately.

Precondition: index selects an existing cache entry in this System.

◆ configuration_ticket()

static DependencyTicket configuration_ticket ( )

static

Returns a ticket indicating dependence on all source values that may affect configuration-dependent computations.

In particular, this category does not include time, generalized velocities v, miscellaneous continuous state variables z, or input ports. Generalized coordinates q are included, as well as any discrete state variables that have been declared as configuration variables, and configuration-affecting parameters. Finally we assume that the accuracy setting may affect some configuration-dependent computations. Examples: a parameter that affects length may change the computation of an end-effector location. A change in accuracy requirement may require recomputation of an iterative approximation of contact forces.

See also: kinematics_ticket()

Note: Currently there is no way to declare specific variables and parameters to be configuration-affecting so we include all state variables and parameters except for state variables v and z.

◆ DeclareCacheEntry() [1/3]

CacheEntry& DeclareCacheEntry	(	std::string	description,
		ValueProducer	value_producer,
		std::set< DependencyTicket >	prerequisites_of_calc = `{ all_sources_ticket()}`
	)

protected

Declares a new CacheEntry in this System using the most generic form of the calculation function.

Prefer one of the more convenient signatures below if you can. The new cache entry is assigned a unique CacheIndex and DependencyTicket, which can be obtained from the returned CacheEntry.

Parameters

[in]	description	A human-readable description of this cache entry, most useful for debugging and documentation. Not interpreted in any way by Drake; it is retained by the cache entry and used to generate the description for the corresponding CacheEntryValue in the Context.
[in]	value_producer	Provides the computation that maps from a given Context to the current value that this cache entry should have, as well as a way to allocate storage prior to the computation.
[in]	prerequisites_of_calc	Provides the DependencyTicket list containing a ticket for every Context value on which `calc_function` may depend when it computes its result. Defaults to `{all_sources_ticket()}` if unspecified. If the cache value is truly independent of the Context (rare!) say so explicitly by providing the list `{nothing_ticket()}`; an explicitly empty list `{}` is forbidden.

Returns: a reference to the newly-created CacheEntry.

Exceptions

std::exception if given an explicitly empty prerequisite list.

◆ DeclareCacheEntry() [2/3]

CacheEntry & DeclareCacheEntry	(	std::string	description,
		const ValueType &	model_value,
		void(MySystem::)(const MyContext &, ValueType ) const	calc,
		std::set< DependencyTicket >	prerequisites_of_calc = `{ all_sources_ticket()}`
	)

protected

Declares a cache entry by specifying a model value of concrete type ValueType and a calculator function that is a class member function (method) with signature:

void MySystem::CalcCacheValue(const MyContext&, ValueType*) const;

where MySystem is a class derived from SystemBase, MyContext is a class derived from ContextBase, and ValueType is any concrete type such that Value<ValueType> is permitted. (The method names are arbitrary.) Template arguments will be deduced and do not need to be specified. See the primary DeclareCacheEntry() signature above for more information about the parameters and behavior.

◆ DeclareCacheEntry() [3/3]

CacheEntry & DeclareCacheEntry	(	std::string	description,
		void(MySystem::)(const MyContext &, ValueType ) const	calc,
		std::set< DependencyTicket >	prerequisites_of_calc = `{ all_sources_ticket()}`
	)

protected

Declares a cache entry by specifying only a calculator function that is a class member function (method) with signature:

void MySystem::CalcCacheValue(const MyContext&, ValueType*) const;

where MySystem is a class derived from SystemBase and MyContext is a class derived from ContextBase. ValueType is a concrete type such that (a) Value<ValueType> is permitted, and (b) ValueType is default constructible. That allows us to create a model value using Value<ValueType>{} (value initialized so numerical types will be zeroed in the model). (The method name is arbitrary.) Template arguments will be deduced and do not need to be specified. See the first DeclareCacheEntry() signature above for more information about the parameters and behavior.

Note: The default constructor will be called once immediately to create a model value, and subsequent allocations will just copy the model value without invoking the constructor again. If you want the constructor invoked again at each allocation (not common), use one of the other signatures to explicitly provide a method for the allocator to call; that method can then invoke the ValueType default constructor each time it is called.

		std::string	description,
		ValueProducer	value_producer,
		std::set< DependencyTicket >	prerequisites_of_calc = `{ all_sources_ticket()}`
	)

protected

(Internal use only) This is for cache entries associated with pre-defined tickets, for example the cache entry for time derivatives.

See the public API for the most-general DeclareCacheEntry() signature for the meanings of the other parameters here.

◆ discrete_state_ticket()

DependencyTicket discrete_state_ticket ( DiscreteStateIndex index ) const

Returns a ticket indicating dependence on a particular discrete state variable xdᵢ (may be a vector).

(We sometimes refer to this as a "discrete variable group".)

See also: xd_ticket() to obtain a ticket for all discrete variables.

◆ DoAllocateContext()

virtual std::unique_ptr<ContextBase> DoAllocateContext ( ) const

protectedpure virtual

Derived class implementations should allocate a suitable concrete Context type, then invoke the above InitializeContextBase() method.

A Diagram must then invoke AllocateContext() to obtain each of the subcontexts for its DiagramContext, and must set up inter-subcontext dependencies among its children and between itself and its children. Then context resources such as parameters and state should be allocated.

Implemented in LeafSystem< T >, LeafSystem< Element::T >, LeafSystem< double >, and LeafSystem< AutoDiffXd >.

◆ DoGetGraphvizFragment()

virtual GraphvizFragment DoGetGraphvizFragment ( const GraphvizFragmentParams & params ) const

protectedvirtual

The NVI implementation of GetGraphvizFragment() for subclasses to override if desired.

The default behavior should be sufficient in most cases.

Reimplemented in Diagram< T >, and Diagram< double >.

◆ EvalAbstractInput()

const AbstractValue* EvalAbstractInput	(	const ContextBase &	context,
		int	port_index
	)		const

Returns the value of the input port with the given port_index as an AbstractValue, which is permitted for ports of any type.

Causes the value to become up to date first if necessary, delegating to our parent Diagram. Returns a pointer to the port's value, or nullptr if the port is not connected. If you know the actual type, use one of the more-specific signatures.

Precondition: port_index selects an existing input port of this System.

See also: InputPort::Eval() (preferred)

◆ EvalAbstractInputImpl()

const AbstractValue* EvalAbstractInputImpl	(	const char *	func,
		const ContextBase &	context,
		InputPortIndex	port_index
	)		const

protected

(Internal use only) Shared code for updating an input port and returning a pointer to its abstract value, or nullptr if the port is not connected.

func should be the user-visible API function name obtained with func.

◆ EvalInputValue()

const V* EvalInputValue	(	const ContextBase &	context,
		int	port_index
	)		const

Returns the value of an abstract-valued input port with the given port_index as a value of known type V.

Causes the value to become up to date first if necessary. See EvalAbstractInput() for more information.

The result is returned as a pointer to the input port's value of type V, or nullptr if the port is not connected.

Precondition: port_index selects an existing input port of this System.; the port's value must be retrievable from the stored abstract value using AbstractValue::get_value<V>.

See also: InputPort::Eval() (preferred)

Template Parameters

V	The type of data expected.

◆ get_cache_entry()

const CacheEntry& get_cache_entry ( CacheIndex index ) const

Returns a reference to a CacheEntry given its index.

◆ get_context_sizes() [1/2]

const ContextSizes& get_context_sizes ( ) const

protected

Obtains access to the declared Context partition sizes as accumulated during LeafSystem or Diagram construction .

◆ get_context_sizes() [2/2]

static const ContextSizes& get_context_sizes ( const SystemBase & system )

staticprotected

Allows Diagram to access protected get_context_sizes() recursively on its subsystems.

◆ get_input_port_base()

const InputPortBase& get_input_port_base ( InputPortIndex port_index ) const

Returns a reference to an InputPort given its port_index.

Precondition: port_index selects an existing input port of this System.

◆ get_mutable_cache_entry()

CacheEntry& get_mutable_cache_entry ( CacheIndex index )

(Advanced) Returns a mutable reference to a CacheEntry given its index.

Note that you do not need mutable access to a CacheEntry to modify its value in a Context, so most users should not use this method.

◆ get_mutable_context_sizes()

ContextSizes& get_mutable_context_sizes ( )

protected

Obtains mutable access to the Context sizes struct.

Should be used only during LeafSystem or Diagram construction.

◆ get_name()

const std::string& get_name ( ) const

Returns the name last supplied to set_name(), if any.

Diagrams built with DiagramBuilder will always have a default name for every contained subsystem for which no user-provided name is available. Systems created by copying with a scalar type change have the same name as the source system. An empty string is returned if no name has been set.

◆ get_output_port_base()

const OutputPortBase& get_output_port_base ( OutputPortIndex port_index ) const

Returns a reference to an OutputPort given its port_index.

Precondition: port_index selects an existing output port of this System.

◆ get_parent_service()

const internal::SystemParentServiceInterface* get_parent_service ( ) const

protected

Returns a pointer to the service interface of the immediately enclosing Diagram if one has been set, otherwise nullptr.

◆ get_system_id()

internal::SystemId get_system_id ( ) const

protected

See System Compatibility.

◆ GetDirectFeedthroughs()

virtual std::multimap<int, int> GetDirectFeedthroughs ( ) const

pure virtual

Reports all direct feedthroughs from input ports to output ports.

For a system with m input ports: I = i₀, i₁, ..., iₘ₋₁, and n output ports, O = o₀, o₁, ..., oₙ₋₁, the return map will contain pairs (u, v) such that

0 ≤ u < m,
0 ≤ v < n,
and there might be a direct feedthrough from input iᵤ to each output oᵥ.

See DeclareLeafOutputPort documentation for how leaf systems can report their feedthrough.

Implemented in Diagram< T >, Diagram< double >, LeafSystem< T >, LeafSystem< Element::T >, LeafSystem< double >, and LeafSystem< AutoDiffXd >.

◆ GetGraphvizFragment()

GraphvizFragment GetGraphvizFragment	(	std::optional< int >	max_depth = `{}`,
		const std::map< std::string, std::string > &	options = `{}`
	)		const

(Advanced) Like GetGraphvizString() but does not wrap the string in a digraph { … }.

This is useful when merging the fragment into another graph, and is how Diagram obtains the Graphviz content for its subsystems. The parameters are identical to GetGraphvizString(). The return value contains additional metadata beyond the Graphviz content, to better support merging.

◆ GetGraphvizString()

std::string GetGraphvizString	(	std::optional< int >	max_depth = `{}`,
		const std::map< std::string, std::string > &	options = `{}`
	)		const

Returns a Graphviz string describing this System.

To render the string, use the Graphviz tool, dot.

Notes about the display conventions:

The nodes of the graph are systems, and the solid edges are connections between system input and output ports.
The class name of a System is shown in Bold atop the node.
Under the class name, if a System has been given a name via set_name(), it will be displayed as name=....
Systems can elect to display additional properties besides their name; see GraphvizFragmentParams::header_lines for implementation details.
A Diagram's input ports are shown with a blue border and output ports are shown with a green border.
Zero-sized ports are greyed out.
Deprecated ports are ~~struck through~~ and flagged with a headstone emoji (🪦) after their name.

Parameters

max_depth Sets a limit to the depth of nested diagrams to visualize. Use zero to render a diagram as a single system block.

options Arbitrary strings to request alterations to the output. Options that are unknown will be silently skipped. These options are often bespoke flags that are only understood by particular systems, but Drake has one built-in flag that is generally applicable: "split". When set to "I/O", the system will be added as two nodes with all inputs on one node and all outputs on the other; this is useful for systems that might otherwise cause problematic visual cycles.

Options are applied only to this immediate system; they are not inherited by the subsystems of a Diagram. To specify an option for a Diagram's subsystem, prefix the option name with the subsystem's path, e.g., use "plant/split"="I/O" to set the "split" option on the subsystem named "plant".

◆ GetInputPortBaseOrThrow()

const InputPortBase& GetInputPortBaseOrThrow	(	const char *	func,
		int	port_index,
		bool	warn_deprecated
	)		const

protected

(Internal use only) Returns the InputPortBase at index port_index, throwing std::exception we don't like the port index.

The name of the public API method that received the bad index is provided in func and is included in the error message. The warn_deprecated governs whether or not a deprecation warning should occur when the port_index is deprecated; calls made on behalf of the user should pass true; calls made on behalf or the framework internals should pass false.

◆ GetMemoryObjectName()

std::string GetMemoryObjectName ( ) const

Returns a name for this System based on a stringification of its type name and memory address.

This is intended for use in diagnostic output and should not be used for behavioral logic, because the stringification of the type name may produce differing results across platforms and because the address can vary from run to run.

◆ GetOutputPortBaseOrThrow()

const OutputPortBase& GetOutputPortBaseOrThrow	(	const char *	func,
		int	port_index,

◆ GetSystemName()

const std::string& GetSystemName ( ) const

final

Returns a human-readable name for this system, for use in messages and logging.

This will be the same as returned by get_name(), unless that would be an empty string. In that case we return a non-unique placeholder name, currently just "_" (a lone underscore).

std::string GetSystemPathname ( ) const

final

Generates and returns a human-readable full path name of this subsystem, for use in messages and logging.

std::string GetSystemType ( ) const

final

Returns the most-derived type of this concrete System object as a human-readable string suitable for use in error messages.

The format is as generated by NiceTypeName and will include namespace qualification if present.

Returns the size of the implicit time derivatives residual vector.

By default this is the same as num_continuous_states() but a LeafSystem can change it during construction via LeafSystem::DeclareImplicitTimeDerivativesResidualSize().

◆ InitializeContextBase()

void InitializeContextBase ( ContextBase * context ) const

protected

This method must be invoked from within derived class DoAllocateContext() implementations right after the concrete Context object has been allocated.

It allocates cache entries, sets up all intra-Context dependencies, and marks the ContextBase as initialized so that we can verify proper derived-class behavior.

Precondition: The supplied context must not be null and must not already have been initialized.

This ticket depends on the configuration_ticket defined above, and adds in velocity-affecting source values. This does not include time or input ports.

See also: configuration_ticket()

Note: Currently there is no way to declare specific variables and parameters to be configuration- or velocity-affecting so we include all state variables and parameters except for state variables z.

protectedpure virtual

(Internal use only) Given a port_index, returns a function to be called when validating Context::FixInputPort requests.
