Cost Panels (DES)

Last modified on September 9th, 2021.


Cost Over Time

Displays a line chart of the incurred costs of the simulation over simulation time.

On startup, a model will pop up to select the panel's specific options. This panel has an option to select which entities will be shown on the chart. Total can also be selected to get the total cost over time. On the Table of entities shown, the color can be specified for each entity/total.

Note: This chart can be edited and multiple of this chart can be created.

Reports that can be created from this panel are:

Cost Break Down (Bar)

Displays a bar chart of the incurred costs of each Action run in the simulation.

On startup, a model will pop up to select the panel's specific options. This panel has an option to select which entities will be shown on the chart. On the Table of entities shown, the color can be specified for each entity.

Note: This chart can be edited and multiple of this chart can be created.

Reports that can be created from this panel are: 

Cost Break Down (Pie)

Displays a pie chart of the incurred costs of each Action run in the simulation.

On startup, a model will pop up to select the panel's specific options. This panel has an option to make the chart a ‘Pie Chart’ or ‘Donut Chart’ and which entities will be shown on the chart. On the Table of entities shown, the color can be specified for each entity.

Note: This chart can be edited and multiple of this chart can be created.

Reports that can be created from this panel are: 

Total Cost

Displays the current simulation cost live as the simulator is running through the model.

Cost Over Time

Displays a line chart of the incurred costs of the simulation over simulation time.

On startup, a model will pop up to select the panel’s specific options. This panel has an option to select which entities will be shown on the chart. Total can also be selected to get the total cost over time. On the Table of entities shown, the color can be specified for each entity/total.

Note: This chart can be edited and multiple of this chart can be created.

Reports that can be created from this panel are:

  • Cost Over Time Report:
    • Generates an Excel report displaying information based on the entities in the report throughout the simulation.
    • For this report you can select the columns, the sort of the columns and the file name.
  • Transparent Image Report
  • Opaque Image Report

Note: This chart can be edited and multiple of this chart can be created.

Reports that can be created from this panel are: 

  • Cost Over Time Report:
    • Generates a csv report displaying information based on the entities in the report throughout the simulation.
    • For this report you can select the columns, the sort of the columns and the file name.
  • Transparent Image Report
  • Opaque Image Report
