State
SIMPLORER 6.0 — Manual 413
With the state file you can continue a paused simulation later. The saving options can be set
in the SSC Commander OPTIONS>SIMULATOR SETTINGS or the Simulator Toolbar menu.
� Save automatically:
The simulator state is saved automatically at the end of each simulation run (.krn file). Any
existing state file is overwritten.
� Load automatically:
When starting a simulation model, if there is a corresponding state file in the model directory,
a dialog box for simulation start with the existing state file opens automatically.
Initial Values
With the initial value file (.aws) you can start a simulation with specific initial values for the
following components:
• Capacitors (initial voltage)
• Inductors (initial current)
• Electrical Machines (initial speed, position, currents)
• Integrator Block
• Derivative Block
• Two-point Element with Hysteresis
• Dead Time Block
• Sample and Hold Block
• States in State Graphs
� Save automatically:
Values of capacitors and inductors are saved automatically at the end of each simulation run
(.aws file).
The menu commands SAVE SIMULATOR STATE and SAVE INITIAL VALUES in the simulation toolbar
can also write simulation data from a paused simulation.
Using Simulation State
1 Before you can simulate with a state file (.krn), the state file must be created from a previous
simulation of the same model. The state file contains the values of all system quantities
at a specific simulation time. To create a state file, you have the following options:
• Save state manually
If you start the SAVE SIMULATOR STATE command on the simulator menu, a state file
Model_name.krn is created.
You can change this default file name. Please note: The simulator starts the dialog for
using simulator state only when a state file exist, which has the same name as the model
file and the file is located in the model directory.
• Save state automatically
If you select the «State: Save automatically» option in the SSC Commander
OPTIONS>SIMULATOR SETTINGS or «Automatically Save Simulation State» on the Simulator
Toolbar menu, the state file is saved automatically for each simulation run.
