Managing a Simulation Process or Activity

You can delete a simulation activity from the process. Once deleted, you cannot recover the activity.

1. Right-click on a simulation activity in the process diagram.
2. From the menu that appears, click .

   Deleting an activity deletes all the steps included in the activity and any subflows.

You can enter a name for each simulation activity, or edit the name for the process.

1. Right-click on the process node or activity in the process diagram.
2. From the menu that appears, click .

You can remove a simulation activity from the flow without deleting it entirely.

1. Right-click on a simulation activity in the process diagram.
2. From the menu that appears, click .

You can view and edit the properties that describe a simulation process or activity.

1. Right-click on the simulation process node or an activity in the process diagram.
2. From the menu that appears, click .
3. Click to edit the Title or the Description.

You can use Collaborative Lifecycle for Dashboard to manage an object's lifecycle (from creation to deletion) and collaboration (manage concurrent access to objects).

1. Right-click on the simulation process node or activity in the process diagram.
2. From the menu that appears, click to open the Collaborative Lifecycle app.

   The Collaborative Lifecycle app allows you to do the following:

   • Promote or demote the lifecycle state.
   • Create a new revision of the branch.
   • Create a duplicate.
   • Lock or unlock a process and any content referenced only by that process. You cannot lock or unlock reference content owned by another process.

You can use attributes and attribute groups to assign predefined variables to simulation processes, simulation activities, and simulation documents.

1. Right-click on a simulation activity in the process diagram.
2. From the menu that appears, click .

You can use impact graphs show the relationship of the inputs to and outputs from simulation objects, such as processes, activities, and data categories.

1. Right-click on a simulation activity in the process diagram.
2. Click to display an impact graph showing the relationship of the inputs to and outputs from simulation objects, such as processes, activities, and data categories.

You can associate Process Composer for Dashboard entities with image files.

1. Right-click on a simulation activity in the process diagram.
2. From the menu that appears, click to display images associated with the simulation activity. You can also change the primary image or delete an image.

You can use Relations to view relationships between objects that are used or referenced in a simulation process or activity.

1. Right-click on a simulation activity or the process node in the process diagram.
2. From the menu that appears, click to open the Relations panel.

   You can use the Simulation Process profile to explore paths and relationships that include the following:

   • Requirements > Test Cases > Test Executions > Simulation Process
   • CAD > Simulation Object > Simulation Process
   • Simulation Process > Jobs > Analytics Cases > Approximation Object
   • Template > Simulation Process
   • Simulation Document > Activities > Simulation Process
   • All activities, inputs, and outputs within a process
   • Locations where documents, templates, attribute groups, and connectors are used
   Note: Simulation connectors and attribute groups can be accessed only from the All Relations profile.
