View Tool Coordinates
SIMPLORER 6.0 — Manual 369
The settings in the SIMULATION>OUTPUT «VIEW TOOL» dialog define the representation of the
View Tool coordinates. Please note: If you save the View Tool representation of a certain simulation
model, these settings have a higher priority and are used for the display. See also
12.3.1 “Data Management” on page 386.
12.2 Display Elements
SIMPLORER’s Display Elements feature displays simulation results directly on the sheet and
offers more options for presentation than the View Tool. The presentation capabilities range
from graphical curves, numerical and table displays to mathematical functions. Display Elements
can be embedded in the model description only with the Schematic.
Display Elements appear in the «Display» tab and are placed on the sheet like any other component.
In the model tree, Display Elements are identified by a red triangle beside the name.
The simulation outputs, layout, and presentation of Display Elements are defined in the property
dialog. Do one of the following to open the property dialog:
• double-click the Display Element,
• click with the right mouse button the Display Element and choose «Properties» or,
• choose the EDIT>PROPERTIES command for the selected Display Element.
When the simulation is finished, simulation quantities can be added or removed without starting
the simulation again. Size and location of the display elements can be adapted individually.
The VIEW>VIEW LAYERS>ACTIVE WIRING command switches Display Elements On or Off.
Most of the property dialogs have a «Use as Default» option. To save current settings of a
page as default, check the option and click . To restore changed settings, click
and all settings on a page are set to default values.
For all Display Elements there are the «General Settings» tab. You can select how often the
graphic is updated during a simulation. Select «Each Simulation Time Step», «50% of Simulation
End Time», or «Simulation End Time». Reducing the update frequency is useful for
large simulation models to save simulation time. For all Display Elements there are the «Library»
tab. Here the path, library, and model identifier are displayed.
12.2.1 View Elements
Suppress default file outputs
Once you have placed an Display Element on the model sheet, the element is used for graphical
online output. To see outputs in the View Tool, select the option «Use View Tool for Simulation
Output» in the dialog SHEET>PROPERTIES «Systems».
View Elements displays simulation results graphically, digitally, or in table format. There are
two ways to assign simulation quantities for output. For Quick View Elements, the assignment
is made through a definition within the property dialog, for Connect View Elements, the
assignment is made through simulator channel elements.
