Mathematica: GOTCHA: If you pull an EntityStore from a CloudObject with PersistentSymbol it caches and will not update if invoked again even if the CloudObject for the EntityStore has changed. Use instead CloudGet.

Mathematica: GOTCHA/LIMITATION: Changing the value of an Entity in an expression-based EntityStore loaded from a CloudObject does not update the CloudObject. You have to push the EntityStore back to the CloudObject. It is not like a "live" connection.

Mathematica: GOTCHA/LIMITATION: RelationalDatabase and DatabaseReference are NOT supported in the Wolfram Cloud for "public" accounts, not even for Premium Plan (Commercial)! It is only optionally offered on the Wolfram Enterprise Private Cloud (EPC).

Mathematica: GOTCHA: Setting the value of a property of an Entity using EntityValue[e,"property"] where 'e' is an Entity does NOT work with a relational database backed EntityStore, which undermines half the point of a relational database bridge!

ISSUE: Mathematica (v14.1): Known Apple BUG: macOS Ventura: M1 Max/Silicon: Export to "PRORES422-AVF" or "PRORES4444-AVF" is buggy! [Since Mathematica v14.2 you can use "PRORES-AW" or "PRORES-KS" instead]

TIP: Mathematica: To Export a ListAnimation without the controls (and without possible frame drops) Export the List of frames directly (not the output of ListAnimation)

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: An EX$Val has concise methods for testing the type of its wrapped '$$' value: isR, isI, isB, isQ, isS. These may be used in ADT "constructor" type tests.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: There does not seem to be a way to register ::usage specific to a Webel ADT-Method (TagSetDelayed UpValue). The Webel libraries offer method documentation support via the HelpO` class/method registry.

Webel: Mathematica: The Method syntax for the user contributed MTools does not seem to support Method-specific ::usage. The Webel libraries offer method documentation support (including arguments and options) via the HelpO` class/method registry.

Webel: Mathematica: The Method syntax for the user contributed MTools does not seem to support Wolfram Language Options[]. The Webel MTools extensions offer options support via a Webel Options Association in combination with the HelpO` method registry.

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: An OptionsPattern[] may be represented by an «M:OptionsPattern» SysMLv1 Block with «M:Opt» properties. An «M:Opt» property represents an Options[] Rule IMPLICITLY (an «M:Opt» does not use the Rule block modelling recipe).

Mathematica: Webel OpenXML: The XL$Cell value accessor XL$Cell⊙valReal has no units-awareness; prefer the US$Cell value accessor US$Cell⊙val, which can return a Quantity.

[TECHNICAL SLIDE TRAIL] The Webel libraries for Wolfram Mathematica: With SysMLv1 models.

Slides in this section

The Webel '$opt$', 'rule$opt$', '$arg$', 'rule$arg$' and supporting '$k$' conventions for "help holders"

The Webel '$opt$' option "help holder" convention

Webel ‘$opt$grp$’ with grouping qualifier (where ‘grp$’ could be a package nickname)

Webel '$opt$' options help by function: Example: tableFunctionOptions[f]

Cleaner Options declarations!

Webel '$arg$' and '$opt$' support via the Doc` package

Functions from the W`Base`Doc` package

Make a Webel option help Rule relying on ‘$opt$’ naming conventions

Webel ‘$arg$’, ‘def$arg$’, and ‘rule$arg$’ convention

Make a Webel help Rule for a required ‘$arg$’ argument + conventions

Make a Webel argument help Rule with a default by convention OR override

Webel $arg$ convention help consistency checks

Webel ‘rule$arg$’ convention help consistency checks

Generate $doc$arg$ and $doc$opt$ Strings from Webel help Rules for use in ::usage

When to use explicit $arg$ help holders (in lower level utility packages)

Why not just generate all the '$arg$' and '$opt$' help holders (using ToExpression)?

Why not just use the Entity system for '$arg$' and '$opt$' help holders?

Association vs Class as SysML CASE: Webel $arg$ and $opt$ help

Association as SysML: CASE: Webel @RuleMap and @ArgsMap «pseudo» blocks. Very "fiddly" to represent in a SysML Block Definition Diagram!

Association as SysML: CASE: Webel @ArgMap «pseudo» block (slightly less "fiddly" as an Internal Block Diagram)

Easier ‘$arg$’ and ‘$opt$’ help Rules using the Webel MArg and MOpt helper classes and MTools for OO

Webel ‘$arg$’ help is much easier with the MArg class using MTools!

Webel ‘$opt$’ help is much easier with the MOpt class using MTools!

Webel ‘$opt$’ help even easier with makeOpt[$name] for MOpt!

HelpM`: Use Webel MOpt and MArg objects to create ‘$doc$’ Strings for ::usage help

SysML: OptionsPattern[] “Generalizations” using Join:" Example: HelpM` helper classes new functions

The AOR Map (Arguments, Options, Rules): Integrated ::usage, HelpF`/HelpO` registration, and Options[] (without MTools)

Webel: Mathematica: A help Rule 'rule$arg' for an '$arg$' (argument) accepts keys: '$k$help' (required), '$k$def' (required if $k$req = True not given), '$k$req' (True if $k$def not given), '$k$warn', '$k$tip', '$k$lab', '$k$type', '$k$mult' and '$k$pat'

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: Where keys of Associations are Strings they are encapsulated as variables prefixed with '$k$' (promotes DRY and has many advantages, such as IDE prompting). Direct use of "Strings" as keys is WET and strongly discouraged!

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: "pattern helpers" (which are not themselves Patterns) use the prefix '$pat$. Encapsulated Patterns use a 'pat$' prefix, and may use a '$pat$' pattern helper (such as an Alternatives).

Mathematica: TIP: Start with With, update to Module as needed.

Mathematica: SUPER TIP: Use CreateUUID[] to trigger recalculation against Once[] to create a flexible optionally caching function! (May incur a memory penalty, consider also using a 'loc' persistence location.)

Mathematica: GOTCHA: The Problems Analysis review system of Mathematica Plugin for IntelliJ IDEA reports a declared Module variable used as a Table loop variable as an "Used local variable". DO NOT SIMPLY DELETE IT!

Mathematica: TIP/GOTCHA: When using a Table loop variable within a Module always declare a module variable for it or you can get very hard to track side-effects elsewhere in your project due to exposed scope. Yes, it's obvious (yet easy to miss).

Mathematica: Webel: A concise i:/o: notation is often used for indicating input/output cells in Mathematica notebooks in Webel's online help pages and tutorials, instead of 'In[n]:=' and 'Out[n]='. (Also learn how to hide them completely in notebooks.)

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: The ADT-Methods of an ADT-Class are created as TagSetDelayed UpValues using the 'signature' of the ADT-Class and its defining 'pattern' as 1st argument

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: CONVENTION: PROVISIONAL: The infix operator for calling ADT-Methods on ADT "objects" is the CircleDot (⊙ in Notebooks). ISSUE: \[CircleDot] is NOT GOOD FOR USE IN IDEs!

Mathematica: POLICY NOTES for the Webel Abstract Data Type (ADT) pseudo classes with inheritance for the Wolfram Language

Section

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY/DEFINITION: Every "hard coded" definer or defining client of a definer has a corresponding ADT ArchetypeClass. Example ("hard coded"): The definer 'my$def$MY$SmartList' has ArchetypeClass 'MY$SmartList'.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: TIP: Prefer the Decorator Pattern over multiple inheritance of ADT-Method UpValues! (But not because "inheritance is evil" per se, it isn't.) The base ADT libraries make heavy (and very useful) use in inheritance.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: A tricky POLICY & CONVENTION: Client packages MUST access the special "wrapped" primary '$$' via $ContextAliases! The recommended alias is "A`" (which stands of course for ADT).

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: Multiple inheritance is supported via ONE (only) ADT-Class and one or more ADT-MemberInterfaces (which have no ADT-Method UpValues)

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: Definer functions MUST return the self-declared or injected 'pattern' that determines the unique "ADT-signature" of the defined ADT class.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: ADTs that define membership of ADT-classes in a domain package have ADT-signature MemberInterface[$$:None] and MUST NOT populate ADT-method UpValues in their definers.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: NAMING CONVENTION: An UpValue that can be invoked on an ADT accepting its unique 'signature' pattern as (at least) 1st argument is called an 'ADT-Method'. They are NOT methods in the general object-oriented sense!

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: There is an 'ADT' universal base that has no supers. It "blesses" every other sub-class ADT by populating it with some common ADT-Method UpValues against a signature pattern via the 'adt$def$All[]' definer function.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: DEFINITION/CONVENTION: Functions that populate ADTs with reusable ADT-method UpValues are called 'definers' and include '$def' in the name after a Package scope indicator: Example: adt$def$ADT, my$def$MY$CleverList

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: Every named concrete Abstract Data Type (ADT) has a ONE unique "signature" (which is the pattern passed to the "definer" functions). To vary a signature, define another unique ADT name.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: The Abstract Data Types (ADTs) are stateless functional (although inheritance and overrides are supported), with no caching by default (although there is nice optional caching using CreateUUID[] and Once[]).

Mathematica: Webel ADT: The term 'Abstract Data Types (ADT)' is used informally (the Webel ADTs do not always adhere to strict definitions of ADTs). Please just think of it here as meaning a strong type or stateless "pseudo class".

Wolfram Player Pro zone (deployment environment for Mathematica Notebooks)

Keywords

Wolfram Player Pro is a low cost desktop application deployment solution for Mathematica Notebooks. It is "read only" w.r.t. new command lines, but end users can of course input data via Graphical User Interface (GUI) form elements. It supports truly rapid development GUIs that hide all of the complexity of the Wolfram Language.

Mathematica: Webel ADT pseudo classes: POLICY: The expression '$$' is reserved as the primary named parameter for the defining pattern of all ADT classes that extend the universal base 'ADT' class.

Mathematica: Webel: You get compelling incremental value out of Mathematica even if you don't yet command all of the syntax and massive powers of the Wolfram Language!

Dr Darren of Webel IT Australia makes the case for better object-orientation for Mathematica using pseudo class ADTs without losing the super-functional power of the Wolfram Language

Sections

Mathematica: GOTCHA: The Module/With system (especially under rewriting when nested) can leave variables with a trailing '$' suffix, which may cause name clashes because the variables (expressions) are available later outside the scope of the Module/With!

TIP: Mathematica: Webel's ultimate guide to using Abstract Data Types to create "pseudo classes" (strong types) with inheritance for the Wolfram Language, all modelled in SysML!

TIP: Mathematica: The IntelliJ IDEA Plugin for Mathematica is HEAPS better than the Eclipse-based Wolfram Workbench (at least for the Wolfram Language as used by Webel projects)!

TIP: SysMLv1: MagicDraw/Cameo: Activity Diagrams: Consider using the Pin display mode 'Name And Type Labels Inside' for 'Position of Labels'. Dr Darren swears by it!

Mathematica: TIP: Notebooks: Automatic Cell Grouping driving you up the wall? Try Manual Grouping and make it part of your workflow!

Webel: Psy/MPsy: Psychrometrics for Mathematica: '$HC' in a function name indicates pure sensible heating or cooling (with no change in water vapour content). Such functions may also be used in the pure sensible portion of a 2-step treatment.

Mathematica: The output form of Mathematica follows internal rules that may not always correspond exactly to how a human might typeset it.

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A prefix '$doc' indicates a documentation String for each primary variable/quantity (argument or output)

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: A prefix 'sym$' indicates a markup variable "symbol" for a documented variable. It need not be a String, but each referenced part MUST be a String - not a Mathematica Symbol - to avoid namespace clashes!

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: Does every bit of the Mathematica code need to be modelled in SysML? No. Typically just the main function parameters and their interdependencies, data structures, and main code logic. Except for special or educational purposes.

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: POLICY: Handle flow sign changes via a single negative (not duplicated and "adjusted" algebra). This strategy may come at a very slight performance cost (for benefit of more robustness).

Cameo Simulation Toolkit: You can use Mathematica as an external maths engine to share maths between an OpaqueBehavior and a ConstraintBlock using custom auto-loaded Mathematica functions (keeps a project nice and DRY and respects Single Source of Truth)

SysMLv1.x: Limitation: The 'body' (maths formula) of an OpaqueBehavior can't be synchronised (shared) with the 'constraint' of a ConstraintBlock (directly in the SysML model). Can lead to a WET (not DRY) model and breaks Single Source of Truth!

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: SysML Activities and SysML Activity Diagrams CAN represent some functional programming paradigms (sort of). You can type Parameters by encapsulations of functions and pass them to/from InputPins/OutputPins of Actions.

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: TIP: Representing Mathematica Paclets and their inter-dependencies as SysML Packages modelled in SysML Package Diagrams can really help you organise your Wolfram Language code on complex projects!

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: TIP: Representing Mathematica functions as SysML ConstraintBlocks modelled in Block Definition Diagram (BDD) overviews can really help you organise and document your Wolfram Language code on complex projects!

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: TIP: Representing Mathematica functions as SysML ConstraintBlocks modelled in SysML Parametric Diagrams and as Activities in SysML Activity Diagrams is super for analysing the dependencies between functions and their arguments!

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: TIP: Exported SysML Diagrams can be embedded in Mathematica Notebooks!

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: Convention: A custom SysML ValueType 'Quantity' extends a custom ValueType '_' (representing a Mathematica '_' Blank). It DOES NOT also extend the SysML Real!

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: Convention: A Mathematica Blank '_' (which pattern-matches any Expression) is represented by a custom SysML ValueType '_'

SysML Block Definition Diagram (BDD)

Webel: Psy/MPsy: Psychrometrics for Mathematica: Convention: Option variable names are prefixed with '$opt$psy'

Webel: Mathematica: CONVENTION: Option help holders use a String variable with the prefix '$opt$', a related '$info$opt$' String, a 'def$opt$' default value expression, and optional '$warn$opt$', '$tip$opt$', '$lab$opt$', and 'type$opt$' indicator ...

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: An Association used as the Type of an argument or return is represented by a Block '<||>'. A List used as as the Type of an argument or return is represented by a Block '{}'. (Extending types may adapt the notation.)

CoolProp: Mathematica wrapper: Psychrometrics (humid air): When obtaining the dew point temperature 'Tdp' at the pressure 'P', humidity ratio 'W', and dry bulb temperature 'Tdb', the 'Tdb' value will be "ignored" but MUST be within a sensible range!

Webel: Psy/MPsy: Psychrometrics for Mathematica: The default newPsy[tdb] builder accepts the pressure 'p' as an option, which defaults to sea level atmospheric pressure.

Webel: Psy/MPsy: Psychrometrics for Mathematica: The CoolProp "wrappers" of the Psy library in fact wrap lower-level wrappers (bindings) for CoolProp for Mathematica

Webel: Psy/MPsy: Psychrometrics for Mathematica: The default MPsy class is a readonly one-shot class that pre-builds many frequently used psychrometric properties (offered as public fields) using CoolProp, and also offers some value-adding methods.

Webel: Psy/MPsy: Psychrometrics for Mathematica: The default newPsy[tdb] builder requires the dry bulb temperature 'tdb', and one (only) of the relative humidity 'r', the humidity ratio 'w', or the wet bulb temperature 'twb' (as options).

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: SysML Parametric Diagrams are not well suited to modelling calculations with Blocks for MTools classes, or for modelling complex logic flow of Mathematica functions. Prefer SysML Activity Diagrams for those modelling cases.

Keywords

New!

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: Convention: A '$E' in a function name indicates that all parameters (arguments and return) are Mathematica '_' expressions. However, when representing such functions as Activities they may end up getting strongly typed in tools!

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: An '@' prefix in the name of a Block indicates a data structure (such as an Association or List) that does not have a corresponding MTools class or a Webel Abstract Data Type (ADT) "pseudo class" in the Wolfram Language code.

Webel: SysML4Mathematica: An '@' prefix in the name of a ConstraintBlock, Activity, or OpaqueBehavior indicates that it is a "@pseudo" function not represented directly in the Wolfram Language or Webel code libraries (typically for minor maths or logic)

Webel: Psy/MPsy: Psychrometrics for Mathematica: Transferred heat (energy "Q") has field names with lower case 'qTot', 'qSen', 'qLat'. Heat rates (energy per time) have field names 'qDotTot', 'qDotSen', 'qDotLat' (to avoid clashes with Mathematica core)

As part of a long term project developed, initially during work for a client, Webel IT Australia in partnership with GreenSoft Pty Ltd is developing a very complex Mathematica application with substantial SysML modelling support.

Mathematica: Wolfram Player Pro 13.1: NotebookDelete[] does not work

Mathematica: v13.1: There is an undocumented command MessagesNotebook[]

Mathematica: GOTCHA: Print[] from Manipulate always goes to the Messages console notebook

Mathematica: 'Through' is your more functional friend.

THE BIG TIP: You brain has many facets: code + graphical engineering is greater than either alone

TIP: Mathematica: Use of For is often a hint that Map, Table, Scan, or something else more functional could be used. But don't stress over it!

The integration between Wolfram Workbench and Mathematica is partly gammy (as of latest versions 2022-08-23)

Mathematica: TIP: Protecting against computations breaking verbosely because of Null, None, Undefined. And about using Undefined as a return policy.

Mathematica: The Webel Units` package has Quantity variables for frequently used units using a naming convention 'unit$[Symbol]' or 'unit[DescriptiveName]' or unit[Acronym], each with a corresponding '$unit...' for the units identifier String(s).

Mathematica: Use of UnitConvert (or even just multiplication or division by a unit Quantity) MASSIVELY slows the calculations down!

Mathematica: Compile won't work with a Quantity with units

CoolProp: HOWTO reproduce a pressure vs specific enthalpy chart in Mathematica. Example: R32 refrigerant.

Mathematica: TIP: The ThermodynamicData function of Mathematica uses NIST's RefProp under the hood.

Mathematica: CoolProp wrapper binaries don't seem to be maintained past CoolProp 5.1.1 (and the PhaseSI and 2-args Props1SI functions do not work)

Mathematica: MTools: Argument Pattern strong type matching does not intrinsically respect inheritance (makes implementing design-by-contract and some Design Patterns less convenient). But you can use PatternTests with Webel MAll extensions.

Webel + Mathematica + MTools + SysML

Mathematica: LINKS: Manipulating Strings and using RegularExpression

Mathematica: Wolfram Workbench: Sometimes the Outline view gets completely out of sync with the .m or .wl Package code

Mathematica: Wolfram Workbench: Sometimes the code syntax checking goes haywire (with red nearly everywhere) for no good reason (even when the code load and runs fine in Mathematica). WORKAROUND: Just restart Eclipse.

Webel vs Mathematica: The Very Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Mathematica: TIP: Try //Dataset on just about anything and be amazed! Click on nearly anything to navigate through nearly anything in impressively interactive human-readable format.

Mathematica: How mimic pattern matching of arguments for pseudo "Boolean" (including providing a default)?

Mathematica: The awesome Quantity system for values with units is everything the SysMLv1.x Quantity/Unit system should have been (and hopefully SysMLv2 will be). But it comes at a high performance cost!

Mathematica + Magic Model Analyst (Cameo Simulation Toolkit) for SysML Parametrics: GOTCHA: You must use a regular '=' on the SysML side, not the Mathematica '==' (or it will be intepreted as a constraint condition to test, not an equation to solve).

Mathematica: TIP: Package Editor mode: Use cell division between every function in .wl library files to make them more readable (and to make it easier to apply at least some degree automated code formatting per function).

Webel: Mathematica is functional programming on steroids (and has nearly everything else, except for decent in-built OO support, although you can make some progress with Abstract Data Types and even some inheritance).

Webel: Mathematica: WISHLIST: Support for EXTRACTABLE structured documentation for individual arguments of functions RIGHT IN/NEAR THE CODE. Yes it is needed, really it is. (And ::usage support for "methods" would be nice too.)

Webel: Mathematica: WISHLIST: Support for decent vendor-supported, built-in, fully fledged, IDE-friendly, object-orientation (OO)! [With or without the use of state, which is a choice, not obligatory, and OO doesn't throw functional away]

Mathematica: Webel: You CAN/MAY use $ in variable names and function names - just not as the first character before a Capital - and it's extremely useful. You won't get sent to Azkaban prison if do you use a $ character!

There are a number of ways of simulating and executing various aspects of Systems Modeling Language v1 (SysML^®), and they are not just novelties! They also really help your models become more robust, logical, and organised.

There is "internal" tool simulation of Activities and StateMachines based on fUML (or variations of it).
