'Period' tab

Specifies a simulation time period or a simulation duration. Optionally, you can specify a warm-up phase.

Simulation time period

Absolute

Defines specific points in time for the start and end of the simulation. Enable the Absolute option and enter a date and time for both the start and end points.

Start

Specifies a date and time for the start of the simulation. Enter the time for start and end and select the date. The input format for the time is hh:mm:ss, where h=hour, m=minute and s=second.

End

Specifies a date and time for the end of the simulation. Enter the time for start and end and select the date. The input format for the time is hh:mm:ss, where h=hour, m=minute and s=second.

Relative

Sets a specific duration for the simulation, which defines how long the simulation will run after it has been started.

Duration

Specifies the simulation duration. The format is dddd:hh:mm:ss, where d=day, h=hour, m=minute and s=second.

Exit simulation when all processes are complete

Specifies that the simulation will not end until all processes have been completely processed.

Warm-up phase

Duration

Specifies the warm-up time. The format is dddd:hh:mm:ss, where d=day, h=hour, m=minute and s=second. The warm-up phase defines a period after which evaluations and result attributes are automatically reset and then re-recorded.

You can specify your settings to be temporary or as a default.
