Seek for instructions on the use of API class: storage and state

[Jack Zhao]

Dear All:
Could anyone can help provide some brief codes illustrating the most common use of OpenSim API class: storage and state ?
e.g. how to get the whole state of a moving model at a time frame in simulation ? And when will the class "storage" most commonly be used during simulation ?

Thank you!

Thanks & Regards

These examples in the Confluence documentation may be helpful:

how to get the whole state of a moving model at a time frame in simulation

It depends, in part, on what type of simulation you're performing, how the simulation is being run, and whether you need the state during the simulation or after it has completed. Hopefully the examples linked above will be helpful.

when will the class "storage" most commonly be used during simulation

Storage is typically used to load/store simulation results before/after a simulation, not for reporting during a simulation.
