Creating a Simulation Process

You can use Performance Study to create a simulation process by instantiating a simulation template.

User Interface
  1. From the Add menu, select V + R Process Management > Create Simulation Process (from Experience).
  2. In the window that appears, select a simulation template and do the following:
    • Click to create a simulation process by instantiating the template.
    • Click to create a simulation process by instantiating the template and to run the simulation process.
    Performance Study displays the instantiate page for the new simulation process.
  3. If desired, select Modifiable Only to view only the attributes that you can modify, or select Viewable Fields to view all the attributes that are viewable (some may be hidden).
  4. Make the desired modifications to the attributes, parameters, referenced content, and execution options to which you were given edit permission. You must provide values for required attributes (displayed in red).
  5. Do either of the following:
    • Click Done to instantiate the template and to close the instantiate page.
    • Click Apply to instantiate the template and to keep the instantiate page open. Performance Study retains any modifications you made to the instantiate page, which allows you to make minor changes and create multiple instances of the simulation process. For example, you can modify the value of a few parameters for an informal design study where you want to study similar cases and compare the results.
    Performance Study creates the simulation process, and it appears as the selected simulation process in the Simulations panel.
