The Simulation raw data may be interpreted as follows:
whereA
andN
are active and nonactive, whileInt
andExt
point to the source of the change (internal, external).where
X
indicates the occurrence of the eventTrace messages describing changes which occurred in a particular step are grouped together and preceded by a line showing the step and the phase number (step number within that time) and the current time.
Also, the moment the trace is enabled, the current values and statuses of all elements in the Simulation scope are placed into the trace file.
A trace file is a record of all the different statuses that occurred during the simulation. Whenever time changed or the state (value) of an element within the scope of the simulation changed, it was recorded. A trace file is often used to examine how a system behaved during a simulation session once the session is completed.
