Selecting the number of simulation runs and starting simulation
|
Tip: To gain an impression of the stochastic distribution of results, run multiple simulations using different random seeds and compare the results (Defining simulation parameters). |
|
Notes:
|
Set the simulation parameters before you start a simulation run (Defining simulation parameters). You can then run a simulation in the Simulation single step or Simulation continuous mode.
1. On the Simulation menu, click > Continuous or Single Step.
Vissim initializes the simulation. Initialization might take a while, if you are using a large network. In this case, a window opens displaying the progress of initialization.
2. When this window is displayed, but you wish to cancel initialization, click the Cancel button.
3. If messages are shown during the simulation, follow the instructions and make the settings required.
You can use the Simulation toolbar to control simulation runs:
Symbol | Name | Description | Key |
---|---|---|---|
|
Simulation continuous |
Starts continuous simulation run or switches from Simulation single step mode to Simulation continuous mode. |
F5 |
|
Simulation single step |
Starts simulation in Simulation single step mode or switches from Simulation continuous mode to Simulation single step mode or executes the next single step. |
F6 |
|
Stop simulation |
Stop started simulation run. Result attributes of the current time interval might not be updated immediately, but only at the end of the time interval. |
Esc |
Convergence may already be reached before the number of simulation runs is completed that has been defined in the simulation parameters, in the Number of runs box. In this case, you can select the Behavior upon convergence: (Attributes for achieving convergence).
