Opening and editing scenarios in the network editor

In the network editor, you can open and edit scenarios of a project. In a scenario, you can perform simulation runs. If multiple scenarios have been saved under a project and you edit and save one of them, Vissim will add it as a modification under the edited scenario and under Modifications.

If Vissim cannot open the scenario becase of a faulty modification, a message is displayed. You have the following options:

• Show the base network
• Delete the faulty modification from the scenario. If the modification depends on other modifications, delete them as well if no further modifications depend on them.
• Close the project.

1.  Make sure no other simulation diagram is open.

2.  From the File menu, choose > Scenario Management > Open Scenario.

Tips: Alternatively, in the Project Explorer, open a scenario as follows: Double-click the desired scenario. Right-click the desired scenario and from the shortcut menu, choose Open. If under the File menu, in the list of files last opened, the file is shown and the path has not been changed, you can select the file there and show it in the network editor.

The Open Scenario window opens.

3.  Click on the desired entry.

4.  Confirm with OK.

If the Messages window opens, check the messages and correct the errors reported. Messages regarding modifications are listed under Modification.

In the network editor, the scenario is opened. The title bars and frames of non-selected elements of the program interface, e.g. of the network editor, project explorer or quick view are no longer displayed in blue (default color), but in green by default.

5.  Edit the scenario.

6.  Use one of the following options to save the scenario:

• Press Ctrl+S.
• On the File toolbar, click  Save.

Changes are saved to the scenario and displayed in the project explorer as a modification under Scenarios and under Modifications.
