SIMPROCESS Terminology and Menus

•
Dispose Activities show how many Entities have been disposed.
All other Activities and Processes show how many entities are in that Process or Activity.
Show Entities turns the display of Entities on or off during the animation. Showing Entities assists with
visualizing the workflow.
Update Dynamic Labels
turns the display of dynamic labels on or off during the animation.
Animation Speed.
Changes the Animation Speed during the simulation. The fastest value is 100, and
the default is 20. A smaller value is better while debugging the model.
The animation setting can also be changed by using the buttons and slider on the tool bar. A depressed
button means the item represented by the button is turned on. Going from left to right, the buttons are
Animation On, Show Clock, Show Entities, Show Counts, and UpdateDynamicLabels. The slider is for
Animation Speed. The final button displays the post simulation animation controls. (See “Post
Simulation Animation” on page 172.)
Run
Run
verifies the model (if selected) and then starts the simulation running.
Change Model Parameters
This item, available only while running a model which has attributes identified as Model Parameters,
will pause the simulation and allow parameter values to be changed. See “Running a Simulation with
Model Parameters,” beginning on page 91 for more information on Model Parameters.
Pause/Resume
If the simulation is running, it pauses the simulation. If the simulation is paused, it resumes running
the simulation.
Stop
stops the simulation and ends the collection of statistics.
