Transitions get evaluated at first
This example shows how the
transitions get evaluated prior to the execution of any state
in a Hierarchical State Machine.Introduction
Consider the state machine diagram below:
Figure 1 - State machine with 2 Finite States and 1 transition
Finite State 1 and Finite State 2 are modeled as in Figures 2 and 3 respectively.
Figure 2 - Diagram from Finite State 1
Figure 3 - Diagram from Finite State 2
There is a transition defined between these diagrams as follows:
Figure 4 - Transition from Figure 1
Simulation
First, the transition is evaluated as true. Thus, after the Initial State, the next Finite State to be execute is the Finite State 2. As can be seen in Figure 5, there isn't a curve in the plot. This is due to the lack of execution of the diagram in Finite State 1. Figure 6 shows that the only Finite State executed is the Finite State 2.
