Running Impact in Multiple Tabs🔗
Impact allows users to open the application in multiple browser tabs to facilitate workflows such as comparing and modifying multiple models or running multiple simulations simultaneously. This capability is further enhanced if the user has the Productivity add-on enabled.
Modeling/Editing🔗
Same Workspace/Project
Working in multiple tabs within the same workspace will display the following banner in other tabs when a model is modified in one tab. Clicking the banner will synchronize the models.
Editing models within the same project will similarly display the following banner in other tabs when changes are made. Clicking it will reload the package.
Different Workspaces
Users can seamlessly edit models across different tabs, provided that each tab is associated with a different workspace and project.
Compilation/Simulation🔗
The Modelon Impact UI client displays the status and progress of a simulation next to the "Play" button after starting a simulation. Therefore, only one simulation per model can be executed using the Impact UI client. However, it is possible to start multiple simulations via the Modelon Impact REST API—for example, from a Python script using the Impact Python client package. In such cases, the UI will display the status of one of the running simulations.
Basic (Without Productivity Add-on)
It is possible to run up to two simulations on different tabs for different models. However, this is not recommended, as it may cause instability. Additional executions will enter a "Pending" state and will resume once a previous execution has completed.
Productive (With Productivity Add-on)
Users with the Productivity add-on enabled can run multiple simulations in parallel—up to the number of allocated cores. These simulations can be launched either through multi-run experiments or by starting simulations for different models in separate tabs.
