How to model my structured data?
Posted: 05 Jul 2017, 07:17
Hi,
I have a large "configuration" object that is a hierarchical structure of primitive variables. Say, a few thousand primitives organized in a hierarchy of 10 levels deep.
I can model this configuration any way I want, e.g.
1) as a structured variable (1 node)
2) or, as a hierarchy of individual nodes
I am wondering, does one of these options allow me to
- read all this data at once
- and, read just a part of this data
I guess what I need is something like IndexRange for arrays, so that I can specify if I want to read the whole array at once, or just part of it. Does something similar exist for structured variables please?
Thank you for your insights!
