Time Step Simulation Dialog<br />

The Time Step Simulation dialog is used to control and visualize the time simulation. The top section of<br />

the form contains buttons for data input/output and buttons to control the progress of the simulation.<br />

The main part of the form has a number of Time Step Simulation pages that contain grids and options<br />

where input data can be specified and simulation results can be examined.<br />

Input/Output Buttons<br />

Press this button to open the New Timepoint Dialog that allows specification of time point starting<br />

date and time, number of time points to enter, and the interval between time points.<br />

Read TSB File<br />

Press this button to read a Time Series Binary file (.tsb File). This files stores input and scheduled<br />

data, the simulation options and the results.<br />

Save TSB File<br />

Press this button to save the input, custom inputs and scheduled data, the simulation options, and<br />

the results and custom results in a Time Series Binary file (.tsb file).<br />

Clear Results<br />

Press this button to clear any results stored with the time step simulation.<br />

Delete All<br />

Press this button to delete all information associated with a time step simulation including, results,<br />

selection of objects and fields for results, schedules, schedule subscriptions, and time points.<br />

Simulation Control Buttons<br />

During the solution, the Time Step Simulation solves each time point in a sequential manner. During<br />

this process, the Simulation can be in one of three states:<br />

1. Reset: When the simulation has not started, when it has been completed, or when it has been<br />

paused and then reset.<br />

2. Running: When the simulation is solving time points sequentially.<br />
