System Dynamics Time Slice System Dynamics Time Slice tells Simul8 how often it is to reassess flow rates and Tank levels. Reducing this time will increase the accuracy of the simulation. If it is too small the simulation will slow down and may not increase in accuracy. text/html 2025-02-21T08:30:15+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) Preferences - Display https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:preferences:display&rev=1740148215&do=diff Preferences - Display The following options are available from the Display tab in Preferences.

Distance Measure The Distance measure can be set to feet, meters (meters) or an custom distance measure. These settings are used in Simul8 reports and in any dialog that refers to distance. text/html 2025-02-21T08:37:03+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) Files https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:preferences:files&rev=1740148623&do=diff Files The following options are available from the File tab in Preferences Fast Save Using Fast-Save you can speed up saving / opening of some large simulations. This option tells Simul8 not to store results information in the file. When you open a simulation that has been saved with this option the time clock will always be at the starting time for the simulation run. text/html 2025-02-12T09:36:24+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) Finance https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:preferences:finance&rev=1739374584&do=diff Finance The Finance tab in preferences lets you customize the behavior of Simul8's finance features. [Simul8 Finance Preference] Within the Finance Preferences the currency symbol can be altered to fit the simulation better, including using custom symbols. By default, Simul8 will start with the currency that is the default for your windows system. text/html 2025-02-21T08:37:36+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) Results Preferences https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:preferences:results&rev=1740148656&do=diff Results Preferences The following options can be customized from the Results tab in Preferences. Results Synchronization Interval So that Simul8 can provide results graphs that are directly comparable results information is normally stored every 5 (default) simulated minutes for all simulation objects where graphing of results is relevant. text/html 2025-02-21T08:38:18+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) Undo in Simul8 https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:preferences:undo&rev=1740148698&do=diff Undo in Simul8 You can customize Simul8's Undo features in the Undo tab in Preferences. It is a good idea to keep Undo enabled in case you should make a mistake that is time-consuming to recover from. However, on slow computers, or with large simulations, Undo can delay your work because of the large amount of information that the undo facility needs to handle.
