Project explorer toolbar

You can use the project explorer toolbar functions to manage the base network, scenarios and modifications of your project:

Element Name Description

Project Structure

Opens the Project Structure window (Editing the project structure).

Open

In the network editor, opens the base network, scenario or modification selected in the project explorer (Opening and editing the base network in the network editor), (Opening and editing scenarios in the network editor), (Opening and editing modifications in the network editor).

Save in highlighted scenarios

For a selected modification: Open the Select scenario window. Select at least the current scenario and other scenarios. Then assign the modification to the scenarios selected. Vissim adds the modification under Scenarios, under the selected scenarios.

Add

Creates a new scenario or modification:

  • If Scenarios is selected, Vissim adds a new scenario that is based on the base network under the previous ones.
  • If Modifications is selected, Vissim adds a new modification that is based on the base network under the previous ones.

Duplicate

Copies the selected scenario or modification.

  • Vissim adds a copied scenario under Scenarios. The number is incremented to the next available number. The name is adopted and extended with the extension - Copy. Duplicating also copies all the files of the scenario to the directory of the newly created scenario. Subdirectories are not duplicated.
  • Vissim adds a copied modification under Modifications. The number is incremented to the next available number. The name is adopted and extended with the extension - Copy.

Delete

Deletes the selected scenario or modification.

Simulate selected scenarios

The scenarios selected are simulated in succession. In the Project explorer, next to each scenario, the current status is displayed:

The simulation run has been started for the scenario.

The scenario is selected for a simulation run. The simulation run will be started as soon as the previously performed simulation run is completed.

The simulation run for the scenario has been completed.

The simulation run was canceled.

Once a simulation run for a scenario has been started, in the Project explorer, you will not be able to carry out certain commands, for example Open, Save, Add, Duplicate, Delete, or start another simulation run.

Simulate all scenarios

All scenarios listed the Project explorer are simulated in succession. In the Project explorer, next to the scenarios, their current status is displayed.

When you record videos or animations, they are saved to the scenarios' directories.

Cancel simulation of scenarios

The started simulation run is aborted and not executed to the end. No other scenarios are simulated.

 

Tip: Alternatively, you can call this function in the shortcut menu of the project explorer. To do so, in the project explorer, right-click the element of your choice.
