Results Management

The Results Management View displays a Grid Window of simulations in the Master Database or in a particular Master Group or Model Group. The grid describes the simulations, and what results are currently stored. The grid can be used to re-run selected simulations, remove unwanted results or view further information.

The following versions of the view are available:

To display the Results Management View right-click on the model group or master database icon in the Explorer window and select Open results manager from the popup menu.

Multiple Results Management Views can be opened for the same object or for different objects.

Grid columns

The Results Management grid contains the following columns:

Group

The name of the Model Group within which the simulations were carried out.

Path

Path of the Model Group within which the simulations were carried out.

ID

The internal database identifier for this simulation.

Run

The name of the run within which the simulations were carried out.

Sim

The name of the simulation.

Status

The current simulation status: Pending, Complete, Unknown or Failed.

Date

The date and time when the simulation was carried out.

User

The user who carried out the simulation.

Location

The location where results are stored:

Size

Size of the results file.

Log file

Indicates whether a log file is stored in the database.

Selecting simulations

You can select one or more simulations in the list:

Menu operations

Right-click anywhere in the grid to display a popup menu. The menu provides the following options, which are carried out on the selected simulations:

Delete time-varying results files

Deletes the time-varying data files. Only the simulation log file, the simulation status file and the state files will remain. The simulation can be re-run to regenerate the results.

Delete all results files

Deletes all results files. The simulation can be re-run to regenerate the results.

Delete simulation

Deletes the entire simulation. The simulation is permanently destroyed and cannot be re-run.

Move results files to server

Moves the results data files to server. (See below for further details)

Re-run simulation

Re-runs the simulation.

View log file

Displays the simulation log file.

Refresh from database

Reloads details of either the selected simulations or all simulations from the database. This option may be needed as changes to the status of simulations are not refreshed automatically.

All these options display a prompt requesting confirmation of the action.

Move results data to server

The Move results files to server option allows results generated on a local machine to be copied to the Remote Results Root. The Remote Results Root should be set up on a server, where other users will have access. There are some rules governing the regeneration of results when those results have been moved:

Sorting the data

The simulations list can be sorted on any column when you click on the column header.
