Control View

The Control View displays a dynamic collection of "simulation controls" that match the set of "active" Simulations. Each control shows the name of the Scenario and that status of the Simulation, including its "state" (either "Running" or "Paused"), the current "time" in the simulation, a progress bar. Each control also has five buttons that control the corresponding Simulation:

  1. "Run" Begin running the Simulation.
  2. "Pause" Pause the running of the Simulation. This maintains the current state of the simulation.
  3. "Reset" Reset all state information in the Simulation back to initial values and set the state of the Simulation to "Paused"
  4. "Step" Run the simulation for a single cycle and then set the state of the Simulation to "Paused"
  5. "Stop" Stop all execution of the Simulation and destroy all state information. The Simulation will be removed from the system.
