Progress Bar Menu

The progress bar context menu provides options for aborting, stopping, pausing, continuing, and resuming simulations, as well as for modifying various parameters during a simulation.

To abort a simulation, right-click the Progress bar and select Abort.

Twin Builder ends the analysis immediately.

Note:

If you abort the solution in the middle of an adaptive pass, the data for that pass or current frequency point is deleted. Any solutions that were completed prior to the one that was aborted are still available.
The solutions that are available depend on when you abort the analysis. For example, if you stopped the solution while a post-processing macro was executing, the field solution computed for that setup is still available.

To stop a simulation cleanly between time steps, right-click the Progress bar and select Clean Stop.

Twin Builder ends the analysis after the next solved pass or frequency point.

Note:

Upon license failure, the simulation is clean stopped after the product has spent enough time waiting for the license to be available. Follow the instructions to save all data and exit the application, which results in simulation results being saved until the point the simulation was run.

Note:

If you request a clean stop between adaptive passes, the solutions for those passes will still be available.

To pause a simulation, right-click the Progress bar, and select Pause.
Note:
While the simulation is paused, you can update reports with the SDB data current at the time the simulation was paused. You can also selectively modify parameters if desired before resuming the simulation.
To resume a simulation, right-click the Progress bar and select Resume.
If you selected Enable continue to solve in either the Transient Analysis Setup or AC Analysis Setup, the simulation pauses at the currently set end time or stop frequency.
Note:
If a simulation ends before the currently set end time (transient analysis) or stop frequency (AC analysis) is reached, the simulation won't pause and the Progress bar will close.

To continue the simulation, right-click the Progress bar and select Continue. The transient or AC analysis setup dialog box opens in which you can set a new, larger-value end time or stop frequency to continue the simulation. Otherwise, choose Stop to end the simulation and close the Progress bar.

If you delete either the Transient Analysis Setup or AC Analysis Setup and attempt to Continue simulation, a dialog box informs you of this fact and asks if you want to stop the simulation. Choose Yes to stop the simulation and close the Progress bar. Choose No to undo the deletion of the setup and Continue the simulation.
To modify various simulation and model parameters during a simulation, right-click the Progress bar and select Change quantity values.

Twin Builder pauses the simulator and opens the Set Assignments dialog box in which you can modify parameters.

To open the Solutions dialog box with the Profile tab selected and the current/appropriate Simulation Analysis Setup chosen, select Profile... on the context menu.
