About Parametric Simulation

You can create a parametric simulation task using the Parametric Simulation Task command from the Design section of the action bar. For more information, see Simulating a Parametric Task.

The Parametric Simulation Task dialog box is composed of the following areas:

Area	Description
	Header Displays the Simulate option and the simulation status.
	General Displays the task name and a list to select the type of combinations in the case of multiple input parameters.
	Input Parameters Displays the parameters to use for parametric simulation. Note: You can add parameters by dragging them into this area.
	Output Variables Displays the variables to plot at the end of the simulations. Note: You can add variables by dragging them into this area.

You can use the Define range option in the Input Parameters area to generate a series of values over the parameter simulation range. For more information, see Define Parameter Range.

Two types of combinations can be used when simulating multiple input parameters:

By group

The combinations are generated by associating values of parameters in pairs.

Parameter	Range	Simulations
P1	[1,2]	P1 = 1 and P2 = 3 P1 = 2 and P2 = 4
P2	[3,4]

Warning: This option requires that all the parameter arrays have the same size. If they have different sizes, the simulation runs with only the matching pairs and displays a warning message.

All combinations

All the possible combinations of the parameter values are considered for simulation.

Parameter	Range	Simulations
P1	[1,2]	P1 = 1 and P2 = 3 P1 = 1 and P2 = 4 P1 = 2 and P2 = 3 P1 = 2 and P2 = 4
P2	[3,4]
