Understanding How Your Model Will Appear in the Player

In order to design effective Dashboards, you must first understand how the GoldSim Player works, and how your model will appear when viewed in the Player.

A Player file cannot be read by GoldSim; it can only be read by the GoldSim Player.

In general, the Player allows the user to view and navigate a GoldSim model just as they would view and navigate a GoldSim model file in GoldSim. This includes the ability to open most GoldSim dialogs (e.g., in order to examine how an element has been defined). Note that not all Player files must contain Dashboards.

The topics below discuss in detail how your model will appear in the Player.
