AVEVA Process Simulation uses roles to hide unnecessary detail and capabilities that you will likely not need. You can change your role selection, or remove role filtering at a later time, from the Start tab.
AVEVA Process Simulation comes with three built-in roles:
-
No role: For users who will be writing models and writing simulations.
-
Simulation Building: For users who will be using existing Model Libraries to build and solve simulations.
-
Model Writing: For users who will be creating or modifying Model Types in Model Libraries.
When you create a role, it is saved in the %LocalAppData%\SimSci\SimCentral\Custom directory, and will be retained if you uninstall and reinstall AVEVA Process Simulation.

On the Start tab, in the Roles group, select a different role from the list box. If you do not want to define a role, you can select No Role.

If you select a task-specific role, the capabilities of AVEVA Process Simulation outside of the role will be filtered out.
