Creating a Behavior Experience from a Model

You can create a behavior experience to store and manage the specifications and results of a simulation.

You can create a behavior experience:

  • From the Functional & Logical Design app
  • From the Dymola Behavior Modeling app.

This task shows you how to:

Create via the Compass

You can create a behavior experience from a model using the Compass.

  1. Select a model:
    • In Functional & Logical Design: From the tree or the 2D diagram, select a functional or logical system with Dymola behavior.
      Important: If you want to create a behavior experience from a model with Logical-Physical Links, you must open both the logical and physical model, and then select the logical root model.
    • In Dymola Behavior Modeling: From the Package Browser, expand a behavior library and double-click to activate a model.
  2. From the Compass, click 3D Modeling Apps , expand 3D Modeling apps and select Behavior Experience.
    A dialog box to change name and description appears, for example System Behavior Simulation if a Dymola behavior was used.
    Note: If you create a behavior experience from a model with Logical-Physical Links, you are asked if you want to create a simulation only for the logical model, or a simulation for the logical and physical model together. If you select to include the physical model, the physical model found through implement links from the logical model is included in the behavior experience.
  3. Enter a name and a description for the representation.
  4. Click OK.
    You enter the Behavior Experience app, and the new experiment representation is displayed. By default, a new scenario is created.
    • From Functional & Logical Design:

      Note: If you create a behavior experience from a model with Logical-Physical Links, with both the logical and physical model included, the physical behavior is seen as a logical behavior, and is stored inside the scenario.
    • From Dymola Behavior Modeling: the scenario contains the library behavior.

Create via Content

You can create a behavior experience from a model using a top bar command.

  1. See step 1 in the task above.
  2. From the top bar, select Add > Content.
    The New content dialog box is displayed.
  3. Expand Types and display the selections for simulation by expanding Simulation Meta-Modeler.
  4. Select, depending on what type of model that is open:
    • Functional Simulation
    • Logical Simulation
    • System Behavior Simulation.

    Note: If you want to create a behavior experience from a model with Logical-Physical Links, you must select Logical Simulation. You are asked if you want to create a simulation only for the logical model, or a simulation for the logical and physical model together.
    • If you select to simulate only the logical model, you create an ordinary logical behavior experience.
    • If you select to include the physical model, the physical model found through implement links from the logical model is included in the behavior experience. You create a logical-physical behavior experience.

    A corresponding simulation is created. By default, a new scenario is created. See the results of step 4 in the task above for examples.
    Note: The name and description of the simulation can be changed afterwards, right-clicking the scenario name in the tree and selecting Properties.
