doc_delay_units Class Reference

Detailed Description

Delay elements in SBML express a time delay for an Event. Beginning with SBML Level 2 Version 2, the units of that time are calculated based on the mathematical expression and the model quantities referenced by <ci> elements used within that expression. (In SBML Level  2 Version 1, there exists an attribute on Event called "timeUnits". This attribute can be used to set the units of the Delay expression explicitly.) The method Delay::getDerivedUnitDefinition() returns what libSBML computes the units to be, to the extent that libSBML can compute them.
