Apply Model Library changes while manually solving your simulation

When you are manually solving a simulation (that is, you have turned off the Auto Solve feature), changes to the following Model Library objects do not propagate to your simulation while in Process mode or Fluid Flow mode:

• Fluid Types

• Curves

• Model Types

This allows you to quickly make multiple changes to a Fluid Type, Curve, or Model Type without solving the simulation after each change. This is especially useful for large simulations, which may take a significant amount of time to solve for each change.

If you change a Fluid Type, Curve, or Model Type while the Auto Solve feature is turned off, the solution status for the simulation changes to unsolved. Also, warning badges appear on the Canvas and in the Simulation Manager on all top-level model instances and connectors that use a changed Fluid Type or Curve or are based on a changed Model Type. The solution status and the warning badges indicate that the simulation does not use the latest Fluid Type, Curve, or Model Type data, which may affect the simulation results.

In Dynamics mode, Model Library changes always propagate to the simulation.

Apply Fluid Type, Curve, or Model Type changes to a manually solved simulation

• Do one of the following (for large simulations, this may take a significant amount of time):

  • On the Process or Fluid Flow tab, in the Solve group, select Solve .

  • Close and reopen the simulation.

  • Turn on the Auto Solve feature.
