Viewing Simulations in the Simulation Browser

To view and manage simulations and to create new ones, click the Simulations tab in the menu bar to display the Simulation Browser page:

The left part of this page is the Simulation Navigator, which displays the folders in which simulations can be organized, and the right part of the page is the Simulation Browser, which displays the simulations.

Simulation Navigator

The Simulation Navigator displays the folder hierarchy in which simulations are organized. The names of the folders and their subfolders are listed in a tree hierarchy, along with the number of simulations contained in each folder. Simulations can be assigned to folders when they are created or edited; see Creating New Simulations.

You can restrict the display of simulations in the Simulation Browser to only those contained in a specific folder by clicking the folder's name in the navigator. The folder name is highlighted and the Working Folder notice below the menu bar states the active folder:

Note

The current working folder applies to all the artifact pages of the Console, namely Scenarios, Scenario Suites, Simulations, Reports, as well as Test Sets and Input Datasets. When you navigate between these pages, the artifacts displayed in their respective browsers are restricted to those contained in the working folder. A folder is automatically deleted from the navigators when all artifacts have been removed from it.

You can hide the folder navigation tree from view, while keeping the working folder at its current setting, by clicking the double arrow symbol to the right of the navigator title:

The navigator title changes to show the name of the working folder:

Click the double-arrow symbol to revert to the full navigator view.

Simulation Browser

The Simulation Browser displays the simulations in the currently selected folder, or all simulations in the database when Show All is selected. The browser displays the Name, Folder, and Description of each simulation.

You can perform up to four Actions on each simulation, as follows:

Edit a simulation: opens the Simulation Builder, allowing you to view and modify the components of the selected simulation. See Editing Simulations.
Launch a simulation: invokes the execution of the simulation, producing a simulation report with member scenario suite execution results and the KPI result. This option is inactive if no executable scenario suites have been specified in the simulation definition or if no SSP is available to launch the simulation. See Launching Simulations.
Download a simulation: packages and saves the simulation and its dependent elements into an RSM archive. See Downloading a Simulation as an RSM Archive.
Delete a simulation: deletes the simulation from the database. See Deleting Simulations.

Two other actions you can perform in the browser are to delete multiple simulations, by selecting them in the list and clicking Delete Selected Items, and to start the process of building a new simulation by clicking Create a new simulation at the bottom of the simulation list. See Creating New Simulations.
