Adding or Editing a Scenario

By default, a scenario is created along with a new behavior experience but you can add as many scenario as you need. You can then add or edit a scenario to an existing experiment.

Before you begin: Create or open a behavior experience.

About Behavior Experience
  1. You can either:
    • Create a scenario: From the Scenario section of the action bar, click New Scenario .
    • Edit an existing scenario: Double-click the scenario from the tree.
    The Systems Scenario dialog box appears.
  2. To select behavior in a multi-behavior model, click Scenario behaviors selection .

    Note: If no selection is possible, the command is not available.

    The Behavior Selection for Scenario dialog box appears. Another way to get the same dialog box is to use the action bar command Behavior Selection . For information about the behavior selection part of editing or creating a scenario, see Selecting a Behavior in a Multi-Behavior Model.
  3. To manage the sharing of excitations, click the Excitations tab and do any of the following:
    • To add an available shared excitation to the scenario, select, in the Available pan, the excitation, and then click Arrow Right to add it to the scenario.
    • To remove an excitation from the scenario, select, in the Referenced pan, the excitation, and then click Arrow Left to remove it from the scenario.

    Notes:
    • You can only work with one excitation at a time, multiselection is not supported.
    • When you select an excitation and perform any of the above actions, all signals in that excitation are handled. It is impossible to handle individual signals.
    • If you work with an existing scenario, you may have local excitations in it. They are not shared between scenarios.

    For more information about sharing excitations and local excitations, see Sharing Excitations and Probes Between Scenarios.

  4. To manage the sharing of probes, click the Probes tab and perform actions like in the previous step, for the probes.

    For more information about sharing probes and local probes, see Sharing Excitations and Probes Between Scenarios.

  5. To manage the simulation parameters, click the Parameters tab and do the following:

    Important: The simulation setup parameters are specific for each scenario.

    1. In the Start time and End time fields, enter positive values such that the start time is before the end time.

      An example could be 3s as Start time and 10s as End time.

    2. Optional: If needed, to modify the simulation setup parameters:

      1. Click Edit advanced scenario parameters .
      2. In the Simulation Setup dialog box, modify the simulation parameters.

      See Simulation Setup Dialog Box for more information about this dialog box.

  6. Optional: In the Comments tab, you can enter information about the scenario.
