Simulation parameters
The context diagram is also related to a Simulation Parameters definition in the diagram properties. In order for the simulation to begin you need to set these parameters.
Setting simulation parameters
1 Right-click the diagram whitespace, and then click Diagram Properties.
2 Click the Sim Diagram tab.
3 In the Simulation Parameters field, type a name and click on the define button or select the choices button to reveal existing Simulation Parameters.
Warm Up & Warm Up Units
This allows you to set a warm up period in which there is no data collected during the simulation, set in Week, Day, Minute and Seconds.
Run Length & Run Length Units
This allows you to specify when the simulation will end, set in Week, Day, Hour, Minute and Seconds.
