Setting up a Simulation

You can define the preferences of a simulation. The simulation preferences vary according to the simulated model (functional, logical or stand-alone Dymola behavior model).

Notes:
  • For handling of simulation results, for example, 3D animation, you can also set general options. To specify such options, select Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Systems Modeling and Execution > Dymola Behavior Modeling , the Results tab. For more information, see Native Apps Preferences Guide: Results.
  • The model might be suitable for sparse solvers. If so, a message appears in the Indicent Diagnosis window when you simulate the model. For more information, see Dymosim Integrators, section "Advanced Algorithms".

  1. From the Scenario section of the action bar, click Simulation Setup .
    The Simulation Setup dialog box appears.

    For more information about this dialog box, see Simulation Setup Dialog Box.

  2. Select the tab corresponding to the preferences to be customized.
  3. Set the preferences according to your needs.
  4. Click OK to save the preferences and exit the Simulation Setup dialog box.
