After specification of the Parameters/Initial Values, the Run Properties and Plot Properties you can start a simulation run by choosing the appropriate command from the Simulation menu.
• | Run: Select the Run command to start or continue a simulation run. Once a run is started, the Stop command becomes active. The run can be interrupted by selecting this command. |
• | Stop: Use the Stop command to interrupt a simulation. Once a simulation has stopped it can be continued by selecting the Start Simulation command. |
• | All Runs: Select the Clear All Runs command to clear all runs that were performed, from the graphical screen and from the computer memory. |
• | Last Run: Select the Clear Last Run command to clear the run that was performed last, from the graphical screen and from memory. |
• | Previous Runs: Select the Clear Previous Runs command to clear all runs, but the last, from the graphical screen and from memory. |
• | One Step: Use the One Step command to calculate one new simulation point. Using this command repeatedly, allows you to run a simulation step by step. |
• | Brute Force: Using the Brute Force command, curves are displayed after complete calculation of a simulation run. This saves time (re)drawing curves during calculations and therefore considerably speeds up simulation. |
• | Multiple Run: Select the Multiple Run command to start multiple runs needed for the Time Domain Toolbox. Runs can be interrupted by selecting the Stop command. |
• | 3D Animation: Any 3D Animation that was performed during a simulation run, can be quickly replayed using this option. |
• | Real Time 3D Animation: Any 3D animation that was performed during a simulation run, can be replayed in real time (i.e. frames are skipped if necessary) using this option. |
• | Copy States: With the Copy States command the current independent state variables can be imported as new initial values. Current state variables are the state variables at the end of a simulation run or at the point where a simulation run was interrupted. |
