simulation single_run set
Allows you to set the parameters that are needed for simulation.
Format:
simulation single_run set |
|---|
update = | update options |
monitor = | monitor options |
time_delay = | real value |
alert = | yes/no |
icon_visibility = | on/off |
save_analyses = | yes/no |
analysis_prefix = | string |
Example:
simulation single_run set & |
|---|
update = | end & |
monitor = | none & |
time_delay = | 10& |
alert = | yes & |
icon_visibility = | on & |
save_analyses = | yes & |
analysis_prefix = | "ana_" |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
update | None, End, Output_step, Time_step Or Iteration | Sets simulation related options |
monitor | None, Output_step, Time_step Or Iteration | This information helps you monitor the simulation process and to locate the source of the error if there is a problem. |
time_delay | Real | Specifies the number of seconds to temporarily halt command processing. |
alert | Yes/No | Specifies whether or not to alert the user before reading the binary file if there is data that has been modified since the last save operation. The alert box provides the user with the options to continue with the read or to cancel the read. |
icon_visibility | On/Off | Specifies whether or not to display icons during the animation. |
save_analyses | Yes/No | Specifies whether or not the analysis is to be saved. |
analysis_prefix | String | After selecting Save Analysis, enter the name you want to use for each analysis object. |
Extended Definition:
1. Set to one of the options below to indicate when you want your model updated during the simulation. The options are listed from option that sets the fewest updates to the option that sets the most.
■NONE - No updates. Use this option only when you are sure that your simulation will run to completion without difficulty, and you want to maximize the efficiency of the simulation. (You can also set this option directly from the Simulation Control palette when running an interactive simulation.)
■END - Update your model display only at the end of the simulation.
■Output_Step - Update your model display at every output time step that you specified when you submitted your simulation and omit any contact steps. Because it does not display contact steps, your simulation time may improve because the graphical processing operations will not be burdened with intermediate contact events.
■Time_Step - Update the model display at each output time step and contact step. This is the default.
■Iteration - Update your model display at every iteration. This option is most useful when debugging static simulations because they are purely iterative in nature since there is no integration required. This option is also available for dynamic simulations, in which case Adams View displays the model at every corrector step associated with each predictor step.
Using the At Every Iteration option with dynamic simulations can result in significantly longer simulation times.
2. Command processing will resume after the number of seconds specified by the TIME_DEALY parameter has elapsed or when the user types any character on the keyboard or makes a pick with the mouse in the Adams View window.
3. Entering 'ON' for the icon_visibility parameter will cause Adams View to display the icons during animation. This will cause slower animation times. For this reason, 'OFF' is the default value.
4. Adams View appends a unique number to the prefix specified by the analysis_prefix parameter to form the complete name of the new analysis object. Adams View creates the new analysis under the model you analyzed.
