Executing the Model and Viewing Results

When you execute your model, Isight displays the Runtime Gateway. You use the Runtime Gateway to control model or component execution and to view results. You can create graphs and tables, view parameter information, create approximations, access data analysis tools, and resubmit models for execution in the Runtime Gateway.

Isight now has enough information to execute the Spring application. Because the parent component of the simulation process flow is the default Task component, the model will only execute the Excel component one time. This single execution is the essence of the Task component.

  1. Click the button on the Design Gateway toolbar.

    The Runtime Gateway appears, and the model is executed. The Runtime Gateway automatically loads the Excel workbook. Excel is started on your system, and it displays the selected workbook.

    Note: You can set Isight to not show the Excel workbook during execution by accessing the Advanced tab on the Excel component editor and clearing (deselecting) the Show Excel during execution check box. For more information on the other advanced settings, see Configuring the Excel Component in the Isight Component Guide.

    Once execution is complete, the message “Job completed successfully” appears in the lower-left corner of the interface, and icons appear above each component in the simulation process flow, as shown below.



    You can now view the results of the execution. In this example you will use the Summary tab and the History tab to view the results. These two tabs display information in different formats.

    Note: The contents of each tab change depending on the component selected on the left side of the Runtime Gateway.

  2. Click the Excel component in the model explorer on the left side of the Runtime Gateway, and click the Summary tab across the top.

    A summary of the execution appears. This summary does not include individual parameter values.



  3. Click the History tab.

    This tab shows parameter values for each run of the Excel component.



  4. Select File > Close Window to close the Runtime Gateway.

    You are returned to the Design Gateway. Now you will modify your model to facilitate multiple runs of the Excel component while varying the number of coils in the spring.
