Scenarios

About scenarios

The Scenario Manager allows you to script detailed scenarios so that you can perform a simulation without manually executing the steps on your own. You store your scenarios as part of the simulation, or within the simulation Repository.

Concepts

• You can script detailed simulation scenarios.

• Scenarios execute operational steps automatically.

• You can record simulation steps and save them as a scenario.

• Scenarios can save the simulation results as snapshots.

• The software stores scenarios as part of a simulation.

• By default, Auto Solve is turned off during scenario runs regardless of the Auto Solve setting for the simulation. See Turn on or turn off automatic solving (Auto Solve) for more information.

• Unless you specifically turn on Auto Solve for a scenario, you must use the SOLVE command to solve the simulation and produce simulation results for any changes that you make from the scenario.

• You can use the SOLVER command with the AUTO argument to turn on Auto Solve for all commands that follow the SOLVER command in the scenario.
