The key inputs to an Interrupt element An efvent element that is triggered by an event, and responds by interrupting the simulation. are the interrupt triggers: the events and/or conditions that cause the simulation to be interrupted.
These are defined via the Trigger... button, which provides access to a standard Trigger dialog
The simulation will be interrupted whenever the trigger event occurs. Like all triggers in GoldSim, the Interrupt trigger can consist of multiple events and conditions.
In some cases, you may want to disable (turn off) an Interrupt element. When an Interrupt is disabled, it does not interrupt the simulation. You can disable the element by checking the box labeled Disable Interrupts by this Element at the bottom of the page.
When you do so, you will notice that the symbol for the element in the graphics pane The primary portion of the GoldSim interface, where the graphical depiction of the model is shown. (and browser An alternative view of a GoldSim model, in which elements are displayed in a tree, and organized either hierarchically, or by type.) changes (to indicate that it is currently disabled):

| Interrupt Enabled | Interrupt Disabled |
Note: During a simulation, whenever a simulation is interrupted, you also have the opportunity to disable the Interrupt (i.e., ignore any Interrupts) for the remainder of the simulation.
