Working with the Scenario Window

You can perform a number of actions in the Scenario window.

The Scenario window can be in two modes:

  • Edition Mode for editing excitations and probes.
  • Preview Mode for working in preview mode.

If you work with several scenarios, you can have several Scenario windows open at the same time, one for each simulation.

Note: The Scenario windows are not closed when you simulate.

The available columns differ between the two modes.

Important: The filtering alternatives in the Scenario window in edition mode can be combined in many cases. You may get different results depending on in what order you apply the filters.

For an overview of the Scenario window, see Scenario Window.

This task shows you how to:

Display a Scenario Window

To display a Scenario window, do the following:

  • If you have the Scenario window icon to the right on your screen, click this icon.
    Note: You can have several Scenario windows open.
  • Otherwise, you can display it in two ways, depending on what mode you want it in:

The Scenario window is displayed. The example below is in Edition mode.

Important: If you work with behaviors or models that were created before R2022x FD01 (FP.2205), live plot probes may be present in your scenarios. In that case, you have additional Live Plot columns. For more information, see About Watchlist and Live Plot Probes Created Before R2022x FD01 (FP.2205).

Notes:
  • You can minimize the Scenario window, if undocked. If minimized, the icon appears on the right side of the screen.
  • The Scenario window can be collapsed/expanded.

Hide and Display Columns

You can hide and display columns in the Scenario window.

  1. Right-click any of the column headers and select Open Column Manager .
  2. To manage the display of columns, do any of the following:
    • To display a selection of columns, select the columns by pressing Ctrl and click the column names, and then click Show Selection.
    • To hide a selection of columns, select the columns like above, and then click Hide Selection.
    • To display all columns, click Show All.
    • To hide all columns, click Hide All.

    Tip: As an alternative, you can, in the Column Manager, show or hide columns by clicking the check box in front of the column names.

    It is also possible to select what columns to display without using the Column Manager. You can instead right-click any column header and select any of the following:

    • Hide Column: Hides the column you selected.
    • Show All Columns: Displays all columns.
    • Show Column > Value: Select Value (or another item) to display the item column.
    Note: The option Show Column is only visible when a column is hidden.

Sort the Content Alphabetically

Click the column header to display an arrow. Click the arrow once or twice, to sort alphabetically the content, ascending or descending.

Filter the Content by Name

You can filter the content in the Scenario window by name, for each column.

  1. Enter a word in the Filter field.

    Note: You can use wildcards such as * to help define your search criteria. For the Name column, you cannot filter on the whole path of the node (for example, C1.v.*), you can only filter on the name of the node.

  2. Apply the filter:
    • Press Enter: If no column is filtered already, the filter acts on the first column.
    • Press Enter: If a column is previously filtered, the filter acts on the same column again.
    • To apply the filter on a column that is different from the previous column, right-click the column header of the column, and select Apply filter on this column.

    Note: If you already use some of the filtering in the sections below, filtering by name might not work.

    The filtering result appears, the filter icon in the column header indicates that the filter is acting on this column.
  3. On the upper right corner, click Clear the text filter , to clear the text filtering.
    The name filtering is the only filtering that is removed.

Filter the Content by Watchlists (Only in Edition Mode)

You can filter the content in the Scenario window by variables included in a watchlist.

For the handling of watchlists, see Creating Watchlists with or without Live Plots.

  1. Right-click the column header of the Watchlist column you want to apply the filter on, and select Show only variables in watchlist .
    The filtering result appears, the filter icon in the column header indicates that the filter is acting on this column.
  2. To remove the filtering of variables being in a watchlist, right-click the filtered Watchlist column and select Show All .
    The filtering of variables being in a watchlist is removed. Other filterings are kept.

Filter the Content by Excitation Values (Only in Edition Mode)

You can filter the content in the Scenario window by variables with forced value, or unlocked variables.

For forcing, see Defining and Handling Initial Conditions.

  1. Right-click the column header of the Excitation Values column, and select one of the following:
    • Show only variables with forced value to display only variables with forced value.
    • Show only unlocked variables to display only unlocked variables.
    The filtering result appears, the filter icon in the column header indicates that the filter is acting on this column.
  2. To remove the filtering of variables having a forced value, or being unlocked, right-click the filtered Excitation Values column and select Show All .
    Depending on what column you apply the command to, the filtering of variables having a forced value, or being unlocked, is removed. Other filterings are kept.
