Generating meso graphs

A meso graph is automatically calculated when you start mesoscopic simulation. You may also create this graph interactively to show the data of meso-specific network objects in the attribute lists. When changes are made to the network that affect the meso graph, it is automatically deleted and the results are discarded. The results lists and attribute lists of meso-specific network objects then no longer list any data.

1.  From the Lists menu, choose > Network. Then select the entry of your choice:

If the meso graph has not been created yet, the list will display the following message: No <Name Meso network object> available. Please use the shortcut menu to create the meso graph.

2.  Right-click in the list.

3.  From the shortcut menu, choose Create Meso Graph.

Vissim calculates the meso graph and shows the attribute values in the attributes list. Attribute values are also available in the the lists of other network objects that are relevant for mesoscopic simulation.
