simulation case, it can prove useful for debugging the case.

Checking this option will display the date and time at which each message is posted in the message
log.

numbers, by names, or by both numbers and names.

name.

Checking the check-boxes in this option will remove the corresponding message writing to the log,
thus speeding up the computation process. The boxes to the right of the messages indicate the color
