3.1.13                            File | Export | Simulation Log

 

Description:

-         For the model in the active canvas, the command exports the log of the most recent simulation to a file in the CSV format.

-         The log contains a time series of values for variables selected in the Element Lists dialog box.

-         The log is reinitialized when the simulation is restarted, i.e., when any of the simulation play commands are executed after the Stop and Initialize command. (Stop and Initialize command by itself does not reset the log. Also, executing play command to resume a paused simulation does not reset the log. )

-         The Max Log Steps in Memory option in Preferences specifies the maximum number of time points stored in the in-memory log buffer.

 

Constraints:

-         The command is disabled if none of entities is selected for logging (Save Log property is set to off  for each entity) or there is no log to save

-         An exported CSV file will contain time series that remains in the in-memory log buffer of Cell Illustrator at the time the export command is executed. In case of a large log, the buffer may contain only a part of the log; The time series data is being saved to a hard disk while the simulation is running. You can set the size of the in-memory log buffer in the Preferences dialog in Cell Illustrator. To export the whole log, open the respective CI Log (CIL) file in the CI Player from the Simulation History dialog and execute the Export Simulation Log command in the CI Player.
