Exporting Simulator Results

Navigate to the ‘Discrete Event’ or ‘Monte Carlo’ simulator.

Navigate to Discrete Event or Monte Carlo Simulator

Note: This will only work in the new simulators! The Classic versions of the 'Discrete Event' and 'Monte Carlo' simulators do not support exporting simulator results.

Set up the simulator’s settings and layout as preferred. Then select the ‘Play’ button.

Press Play

After the simulation is complete, select the ‘Export Results’ button.

Click 'Export Results' button

In the ‘Export Simulation Results’ modal the ‘File Name’ field is optional. If nothing is entered, then the name of the root entity will be the default name. Select ‘Export Results’ to create the artifact entity that will store the .SIM file.

Export Simulation Results Modal

To stay on the current page close the modal. Otherwise, select the ‘Navigate to Artifact’ button to view the newly created artifact entity.

If the exported artifact came from the ‘Discrete Event’ simulator then the name for the entity will be “[NAME] - Discrete Event Simulation”. Similarly, if exported from the ‘Monte Carlo’ simulator the name would be “[NAME] - Monte Carlo Simulation”. Artifacts created in this manner are automatically labeled with the ‘Simulation Output’ label. 

To view the results of the simulation, select ‘View Simulation’.

Entity View of Exported Simulator Results

This will navigate to, and present, the finished simulation of the exported ‘Discrete Event’ simulation (or the ‘Monte Carlo’ simulation). This page is essentially in a view-only state and cannot be altered aside from hiding and moving panels around. 

The settings and layout of the initially run simulation are stored in the .SIM file and will be maintained and loaded when viewing the simulation results. The .SIM file’s settings and layout will be used even if the root entity's settings or layout changes.
