Flow Section

The Flow section of the action bar provides commands for adding items to the simulation process.

Activity
Creates a container that can hold many steps.
See About Activities.
Gateway
Creates branches for parallel flows with optional conditions that determine if the simulation process executes each branch.
See Inserting Gateways to Create Branches.
DOE
Intelligently samples the design space using formal Design of Experiment methods.
See About the Design of Experiments Adapter.
Optimization
Uses formal optimization techniques to find an optimal design based on specified objectives and design constraints.
See About the Optimization Adapter.
Monte Carlo Simulation
Randomly simulate a product or process, given the stochastic properties of one or more random variables (inputs), and characterize the statistical nature of the responses (outputs) of interest.
See About the Monte Carlo Adapter.
Loop
Executes the subflow iteratively based on specified criteria (for, while, etc.).
See About the Loop Adapter.
Subflow
Specifies when the subflow of a simulation activity should execute.
See Adding a Subflow.
