3.1.69                            Simulation | Step Play

 

Description:

-         The command executes one simulation step for the model in the active canvas.

-         One step corresponds to 1 Sampling interval in Petri net time units.

-         The Sampling interval is a property of the active canvas and it is displayed in the Simulation Settings dialog.

-         For a new canvas, the Sampling interval is initialized on the base of the user preference settings.  See Preferences for more details.

-         The Current speed setting and the Simulation time displayed in the Simulation Settings dialog do not matter for this command.

-         Other simulation options, e.g., Enhanced firing, are used according to the settings in the category Simulation| Extra Options in the user preferences.

-         Process firing and changes of entity values are shown in the canvas during the simulation according to Simulation | Animation Options in the user preferences. No tokens are displayed, however, i.e., the Token image setting is ignored.

-         If there are any charts defined for the model, one or more Chart Window is opened when the command is executed.

-         The simulation status is displayed at the bottom of the CI main window.

 

Constraints:

-         At least one canvas is opened in the workspace
