statistics for the Scenario. Other Output provides some tables with basic summary statistics for the
Scenario and for each iteration. Note that the sections of Text Output provide dropdown lists to allow you
to move among Scenarios and Populations. Buttons are also provided to allow you to save these texts to
simple text files, to print the text summaries, or to send the summaries to the Project Report. Send the
Output Summary to the Report now, so that we can view and edit it later as part of our Project Report.
All of the information shown on Text Output screens is stored automatically in text files that are
placed into your project directory. While you can access and edit these files (using, for example,
MS Notepad or Word), it is better to first save the text to your own files, so that they are safely
stored under names that you specify and will not be overwritten if you run the simulation again.
Click now on the Graphs and Tables tab (Figure 11). If one or more Scenarios that have not yet been run,
the list in the lower left of the screen will list those Scenario names preceded with “N.A.:” (for “not
available”). The Graphs and Tables section has two subsections – Data Specification and Data Graphs.
Data Specification is where you will identify which results you wish to put into your table and graph.
