Dynamic
Plot |
| |
Dynamic plots have several functions:
|
1.
|
Facility planning validating
statistics; |
|
2.
|
verifying the model during
simulation run; |
|
3.
|
tracking info for presentation
purposes; |
|
4.
|
saving statistics for
a "snapshot" of time; |
|
5.
|
saving the statistics
to an Excel spreadsheet for easy analysis.
|

|
Save
As Excel |
| |
The Save As Excel feature will
automatically save your statistics report
(*.RDB file) as an Excel file. A benefit of
the Save As Excel feature is the ability to
export a time series statistic into an Excel
file. |
| |
|
|
Arrays
and Excel |
| |
This features has 2 distinct
capabilities:
|
1.
|
Import a spreadsheet
into a two-dimensional array
Once you have associated the file name
with the array it will automatically
populate the array with the information
at the beginning of the model run. You
can change the information at any time,
at once the model starts the array should
be populated with the information from
the spreadsheet. READ statements are
no longer necessary! |
|
2.
|
Exporting information
from the array into an Excel spreadsheet.
All you have to do is associate the
file name with the array in the EXPORT
dialog and it will automatically export
a two-dimensional array into your Excel
spreadsheet. |
|
| |
|
|
Tank
Logic Builder |
| |
The Tank Logic Builder makes
creating tanks easier. It is accessed through
the logic builder. If you choose Build Expression
from within the logic builder, and go to subroutines
(assuming that you have tanks in the model),
you will see the subroutine parameters for
each subroutine.
A side benefit of this new feature is the
ability to document your subroutine for other
people. If you put a comment in as the first
line in a subroutine, it will show up as the
description of the subroutine. This makes
it easier to understand the purpose of the
subroutine. |

|
|
Model
Protection |
| |
Previously when you created
a "protected model" that meant that
no one else could see your proprietary data.
In most cases this was fine. However, in some
cases, people used arrays and variables extensively
and would store propriety information in these
areas. The run time access to variables and
arrays will be disabled. |
