Run a Steady-State simulation🔗
The Steady-State simulation presents a time-constant, converged solution, where all the inputs are constant.
Steady-State: It is recommended to check the Library documentation if a model supports Steady State analysis.
What is Steady-State Simulation
- Steady-State refers to a single operation point when the system is at equilibrium
- In steady-state simulation, a system is analyzed to determine its behavior and variables when it reaches a stable equilibrium over time.
- In this type of simulation, the focus is on understanding how the system's state variables settle into a consistent and unchanging state, rather than tracking transient or dynamic behavior.
- Steady-State simulations are particularly useful for studying systems that have achieved a balance between inputs, outputs, and internal processes.
How to run a Steady-State simulation🔗
To run a Steady-State simulation for a model follow the steps below:
-
Open the model
-
Switch to Experiment mode and open the right panel, under ANALYSIS tab, click on the Steady-State button as shown below
- In the Experiment panel, click on the Steady-State button in the ANALYSIS tab.
- A Steady-State simulation can be speeded up by using Multi-run functionality allowing to run multiple simulations in parallel.
Steady-State Simulation Analysis🔗
Scatter plots are usually used to analyze Steady-State simulations.
The Scatter plot functionality allows you to visualize multiple cases in one chart and isolate the results of one variable in relation to another.
-
Run the experiment by using Multi-run in Steady-State.
-
Expand the right panel.
-
Go to the CALCULATED VALUES tab at the bottom right.
-
Drag variables from CALCULATED VALUES to show variable results from the experiment.
-
Drag and drop a new variable to an existing scatterplot (on the x-axis) and both values will be presented in one graph.
-
Hover over the points to see the results of variables in relation to other variables as results of the experiment.
