 ====== Feedback views ====== ====== Feedback views ======
  
-==== Declaring ​in views.samm ====+Feed back views are a way to run part of the model in a loop adjusting model inputs for each iteration and providing back to the view of the model outputs required. ​ The reasons for using feedback ​views include handling model feedback links, and trying to get model outputs to track on some know data.  There are many other ways of using feed back too.
  
-Declare ​the feedback ​view in views.samm:+There are a few built in tool variables that are available to the view writer to track the feedback process and terminate the loop when ready they are: 
 +  * **$fbViewIteration** - the iteration number of the loop 
 +  * **$fbViewMaxIters** - the maximum number of iterations requested by the user 
 +  * **$fbViewTolerance** - the convergence tolerance requested by the user
  
 +You can declare regular **local** variables however be aware that they are wiped out at the start of each iteration.
 +
 +You can declare regular **keep** variables which remain available for every iteration. ​ Usually you create them on the first iteration inside an "if clause"​ like this:
 <​code>​ <​code>​
-fbview trackEU compare trackEU.v trackEU.t  "​Tracking Energy Use“ 20 0.001+keep A[] 
 +if ($fbViewIteration) 
 +  A[] = create(...
 +endif
 </​code>​ </​code>​
  
-where the line contains the following parameters: 
  
-type of view (= fbview)\\ 
-view name\\ 
-model scope\\ 
-.v file name\\ 
-.t file name\\ 
-description\\ 
-default number of iterations \\ 
-convergence tolerance \\ 
  
-==== Template/​Examples ​====+ 
 +==== Example feedback view files ====
  
 Here is an example of the .v and .t files for a simple feedback view that modifies a model input until the model output matches some given "​golden"​ value in the last time slice. Here is an example of the .v and .t files for a simple feedback view that modifies a model input until the model output matches some given "​golden"​ value in the last time slice.
