individualElementWarmUpLength

The length of time from the start of the simulation to the warm-up event. Sets the length of the warm-up for this model element.

Setting the length of the warm-up to 0.0 will set the warm-up option flag to true.

This is based on the assumption that a zero-length warm-up implies that the model element's parent warm-up event will take care of the warm-up action. If this is not the case, then setting the warmUpOption to false after setting the length of the warm-up to 0.0 will cause the model element to not have a warm-up.

In general, there is not a need to set the length of the warm-up to zero unless the reactor is resetting the value after explicitly specifying it for a replication. The default value of the warm-up length is zero. A zero-length warm-up will not cause a separate event to be scheduled. The default warm-up flag option starts as true, which implies that the model element lets its parent's warm-up event take care of the warm-up action.

Setting the length of the warm-up > 0.0, will set the warm-up option flag to false.

Prior to each replication, the specified warm-up length will be checked to see if it is greater than zero. If the length of the warm-up is greater than zero, it is checked to see if it is less than the simulation run length. If so, it is assumed that the model element wants its own warm-up event scheduled. It is also assumed that the model element does not depend on its parent for a warm-up action. The warm-up option flag will be set to false, and a separate warm-up event will be scheduled for the model element.
