Updating Reports (Post-Processing Data)
To manually update the active report in the design area using the latest simulation results, right-click the report and select Update Report, right-click the report under Results in the Project Manager pane and select Update Report.
If you want to update all reports in the design, select Twin Builder > Results > Update All Reports, or right-click Results in the Project Manager pane and select Update All Reports.
If the simulation associated with a report has been paused via the progress bar menu, select Update Report or Update All Reports to update the report with the SDB data current at the time the simulation paused.
In a schematic design, an option is available to control all schematic-based analyses. Select Tools > Options > General Options > General > Desktop Performance. The Dynamically update postprocessing data during edits check box controls the version of solution data to use in reports.
Twin Builder solution data is versioned. You might have solution data for a particular state of a design, then edit the design and re-simulate. Solution data is now available for both states of the design.
Suppose the following sequence occurs with the Dynamically update postprocessing data during edits check box cleared:
- Simulate and create a report. The report displays the current solution data (state 1).
- Next, edit the design. The report is marked Invalid (a large X appears in the legend of the report window and on the report icon in the Results section of the Project tree).
- Rerun the simulation. The report is updated with the latest solution data (state 2), and the report is marked as valid (the X disappears).
- Now click Undo. Twin Builder still has the old solution data (state 1).
If you clear the Dynamically update postprocessing data during edits check box, the state 2 report data becomes invalid again.
If you select the Dynamically update postprocessing data during edits check box, Twin Builder reloads the now valid state 1 solution data into the plot and marks it valid.
- Upon selecting Redo, the result again depends on the setting of the Dynamically update postprocessing data during edits check box. If the check box is cleared, the report becomes valid again (the state 1 data was not reloaded by the Undo operation, so the report still displays state 2). If the check box is selected, the state 2 data is reloaded dynamically and the plot is also valid.
