Using the Dynamic Simulation Panel

The 'Dynamic Simulation' panel brings together a range of tools for working with Behavioral Model simulations. It provides access to a range of windows that allow you to control a simulation, set up simulation triggers and signals, set breakpoints, inspect local variables or view the Call Stack. It also offers a number of pre-defined model searches for retrieving recently modified StateMachines and activity graphs.

Simulator

  • Open Simulation Window - display the Simulator control window, from which you can manage, activate and control simulations
  • Apply Simulator Layout - apply a workspace layout that contains the most commonly used simulator windows in a convenient arrangement

Simulation Windows

Triggers

Open the Simulator Triggers window to work with signals and triggers that are used as input to the currently active simulation.

Simulation Windows

Breakpoints

Display the Breakpoints window for the Simulator. Breakpoints can be set on model elements to halt simulation and inspect variables.

Simulation Windows

Local Variables

Display a list of Local Variables and their values from the current simulation. The simulation must be halted at a break point in order to display variables.

Simulation Windows

Call Stack

Display the current simulation Call Stack.

Simulation Windows

Simulations

Open the Model Search window and load a pre-defined set of search parameter to search the current model for Activities, StateMachines, Interactions and other objects related to running simulations.

Recent StateMachines

Open the Model Search window and load a pre-defined set of search parameters to display a list of StateMachines that have been recently modified. You can specify the time period (number of days) in which to search.

Recent Activity Graphs

Open the Model Search window and load a pre-defined set of search parameters to display a list of Activity diagrams that have been recently modified. You can specify the time period (number of days) in which to search.
