The number of instantiations is specified by the number argument. This number is a maximum, a stop condition could result in less instantiations.

A currvalue and nextvalue item need to be configured within the template.

description

Optional a stop condition can be configured. This condition need to be configured as a parameter with the name stop and an expression with a boolean condition. If the condition becomes true, the loop will not continue.

The loop function is used for dynamic modelling.

   parameter<uint32> NrIter;
   container currValue;
   container nextValue;`
