Debug Mode and Fast Mode

By default, 20-sim models are simulated in the debug mode, which is indicated by the Debug Mode button DebugMode at the left top of the Simulator. In the Debug Mode the Simulator, checks on divisions by zero and all other kinds of problems and gives proper warnings when something goes wrong. This is very help for debugging a model but slow down the speed of the Simulator considerably.

 

If your model runs fine you can change the Debug Mode button to Fast Mode FastMode. Now 20-sim will use all tricks to give you the highest simulation speed possible.
