Model Execution: Concepts and Terms : AutoRun Mode

AutoRun Mode

In Autorun mode, simulation runs continuously with the entire interaction being performed through panels and monitors. Simulation behaves as if it was a real-time execution of the model. This is achieved by the following:

Each time the simulation clock is advanced by T time units, a real-time delay is included with a duration proportional to T.
By default, one unit of simulation time is represented by 1 second of real-time. When needed, a different mapping can be defined. This is done using the field Autorun Time Factor of the Time Setting dialog box in the Analysis profile.

AutoRun can be interrupted and the simulation clock advanced busing the Go Advance and Go Next commands. This does not involve any real-time delay.
