Simulation PCS Profile Panel

The Simulation PCS Profile panel shows you how the simulation uses time. This panel appears when you select the Performance Analysis option in the Play tab of the Simulation Options dialog box.

This page discusses:

Input

Simulated Entity
Shows the name of the entity being simulated.
Simulation duration
Profiled virtual simulation time.
Sim Start and Sim Stop
The start and stop times for the simulation.

Results

This section provides the PCS analysis.

Real-time duration
Actual duration on the clock of the profiled simulation.
Table Categorizing How Simulation Time is Spent
Various categories summarize the time spent by groups of simulation agents. Applicative agents implement specific APIs to adhere to a category. Miscellaneous time spent that is not already categorized appears at the end. The list of categories is sorted by duration in a descending order from the largest to smallest.
In some cases, you can access tooltips that offer tips for improving the performance of the category.
The results are not saved on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. You can export the results to a spreadsheet.
