If you change an input for one clone, it is automatically changed for the other clones Sets of elements whose properties change simultaneously when any one member of the set is edited.. This is the case for standard inputs, as well as other properties, such as checkboxes.
There are, however, several exceptions to this rule:
- Names (element IDs) are never cloned. Each clone can have a unique name.
- Descriptions are never cloned. Each clone can have a unique description.
- Save flags (i.e., Save Final Values and Save Time Histories) are never cloned. You must separately select whether you wish to save results for each clone.
- The graphical properties of an element (e.g., size, color, and symbol used in graphics pane The primary portion of the GoldSim interface, where the graphical depiction of the model is shown.) are not cloned. Each clone can have a different appearance.
- The random seed of Stochastic elements is not cloned. Therefore, cloned Stochastic elements have different seeds (and hence will have different sampled values).
- A number of elements (e.g., Reservoirs) provide an input field that only accepts Discrete Changes. These fields are followed by a button that allows you to more easily add multiple Discrete Changes. If an element is cloned, this button is disabled (such that the only way to add multiple Discrete Changes is by separating them in the input field using a semi-colon).
