Performing a run

00:04

Once you have validated and committed a model in info works W S pro

00:08

A simulation is ready to be run,

00:11

expand the session 03 model group and right click run group,

00:15

then hover your cursor over new and pick run from the fly out

00:20

the schedule. Hydraulic run dialogue opens

00:24

type a name for the run in the validation field.

00:27

In this example, validation run is entered

00:31

check the box next to experimental

00:34

if experimental is left off, then once the simulation has run

00:38

the run dialogue and the non version

00:40

controlled model objects will become read only.

00:44

Then in the model group window,

00:46

click and drag the bridge net network into the network group box in the dialog.

00:51

In this example, a control has been associated with the network.

00:54

So the control and demand diagram group boxes populate as well.

00:59

It is best practiced to turn on additional diagnostic error messaging

01:04

to do so. Expand the dropdown menu in the bottom left of the window

01:08

right,

01:26

click in an empty area of the workspace and select run control window in the sub menu,

01:32

the run control window appears listing all previous runs completed for

01:36

01:41

in the model group window. Right? Click the validation run and pick rerun

01:48

in the schedule runs dialogue, click, OK.

01:52

Observe how a progress bar appears in the status column of the validation run.

01:57

in this example, once the status changes to ended,

02:00

the validation column indicates the run past

02:04

in the model group window expand the validation run

02:07

to see the bridge con entry below it.

02:10

If the diamond shaped icon next to it is green,

02:13

that means the model has been run successfully.

02:16

If the icon is an amber color,

02:18

that means there is an un converged snapshot that needs to be addressed.

02:23

If the icon has a red cross through it,

02:25

that means there is an error and the model has not been run

02:29

right. Click the run and pick open as from the sub menu

02:34

in the select results, dialogue pick log results and click. OK.

A validation run window opens and shows details about the run.
