You can define different output options for the experiment types.
Experiment with factor variation
Procedure
Activate the Evaluate tab bar.
Click Start simulation experiment. The Experiment Wizard opens.
Select the Experiment with factor variation experiment type.
Select the New experiment or Existing experiment option. If you want to simulate an existing experiment, select the relevant simulation experiment by clicking the button next to the File box.
Click Next.
Select the database to be used for the experiment. To browse, click the Browse button next to the field. The Select database dialog opens. Select the relevant database, enter your user data if necessary, and select the database settings.
If you selected Existing experiment in the previous step, the appropriate database is displayed automatically.
You can only include models from the same database in a simulation experiment.
Specify the relevant settings up to the Select output options step.
Specify the format in which the output file is to be generated: Microsoft® Excel (*.XLS, *.XLSX, *.XML) and Comma-separated values (*.CSV).
Specify the path and file name to be used to save the output file. To browse, click the Browse button next to the field. By default, experiment<number>.<extension> is specified as the file name, where <number> is a sequential number starting at 1 and <extension> is the file extension of the selected file format.
If the KPIs and values collected while the experiment is configured and carried out are to be displayed directly, enable Display experiment results. The output file is also saved automatically for later use.
If the statistics that were specified in the simulation options are to be generated, enable Generate statistics. The statistics are then generated and saved.
The models are loaded and the simulation experiment is started. Depending on how the output options are configured, the output file created is displayed automatically.
Experiment without factor variation
Procedure
Activate the Evaluate tab bar.
Click Start simulation experiment. The Experiment Wizard opens.
Select the Experiment without factor variation experiment type, and click Next.
Specify the relevant settings up to the Select output options step.
Specify the format in which the output file is to be generated: Microsoft® Excel (*.XLS, *.XLSX, *.XML) and Comma-separated values (*.CSV).
Specify the path and file name to be used to save the output file. To browse, click the Browse button next to the field. By default, <main process name>.<extension> is specified as the file name.
If you want to display the statistics specified in the simulation options directly, enable Display statistics. This output file is also saved automatically for later use.
The models are loaded and the simulation experiment is started. Depending on how the output options are configured, the output file created is displayed automatically.
