Simulation Experiment
Parameters
The parameters view of the Simulation experiment comprise two sections:
The top part of the Simulation experiment view contains
toolbar with
the following control elements:
Below the toolbar you can find a set of the experiment's parameters
which are available only if the experiment is not launched:
Note: The
experiment
parameters can be reset
to
their default values if required.
- Experiment duration -
the period of time that will be processed by the experiment.
- All periods
- [The option is set by default]
Experiment will consider all periods specified in the Periods
table. The actual experiment duration is specified below the parameter
as Start date and End date:
Note:
The starting
date of the experiment corresponds to the date specified in the Start
column of the first period (in the Periods
table), and the ending date
corresponds to the date specified in the End
column of the last period (in the Periods
table).
- Selected periods
- Experiment will consider only the periods that you specify in the Start period and End
period fields:
- Start period
- [visible if Selected periods
option is selected] Specify the period, the starting date of which will
be used as the starting date of the experiment.
- End period
- [visible if Selected periods
option is selected] Specify the period, the ending date of which will
be used as the ending date of the experiment.
Note:
The experiment duration will constitute the whole period between the
starting date of the period specified in the Start
period field and the ending date of the period specified
in the End period field.
- Custom period
- allows you to set custom experiment duration period. For
details on
specifying dates, refer to the date
chooser section:
- Start date
- specify the required experiment starting date.
- End date
- specify the required experiment ending date.
- Finances statistics unit
- the monetary unit that will be used in the
statistics.
- Product statistics unit
- the product measurement unit (also includes
units defined in the Measurement
Units table) that will be used in the
statistics.
- Time statistics unit
- the time measurement unit that will be used in the
statistics.
- Distance statistics unit
- the distance measurement unit that will be used in the
statistics.
- Configure statistics
- opens the dialog box allowing you to
specify the statistics to be collected
during the Simulation
experiment.
- Pre-processor
- custom user-defined Java processor. If no custom
pre-processor is provided, the Default
pre-processor will be used.
- Post-processor
- custom user-defined Java processor. You can set the required
post-processor and define its parameters during the experiment run.
- Save results
- [Selected
by default] allows you to save experiment results to the dashboard. If it is not
set,
results will not be saved.
- Export statistics to External DB - if set, the gathered statistics wil be exported to the database table. Click the
icon to the right of this parameter to configure export parameters.
