Detailed Description

general base for time providers

This class consists of the methods required for example in the ODE Solvers, e.g., provideTimeStepEstimate and provideTimeStepUpperBound. InvalidateTimeStep can be used to mark this time step as invalid. Furthermore, method for accessing the simulation time, the time step counter and the time step size are provided.

The derived class TimeProvider provides the additional method required for implementing a time loop.
