Advanced Timestep Options

The Advanced… button in the Time tab of the Simulation Settings dialog provides access to a dialog for specifying a number of advanced timestepping features:

This dialog is used to specify several different things:

   Adding shorter (magnified) timesteps over specified periods;

   Adding Capture Times during a simulation, at which results are captured in order to display distributions, multi-variate results (e.g., scatter plots), bar charts, pie charts and arrays at specified points in time.

   Controlling unscheduled updates;

   Dynamically controlling the timestep during a simulation;

   Including unscheduled updates in time history results;

   Referencing and displaying Time when editing a model; and

   Defining the first day of the week and first month of the year.

These are discussed in detail in the topics below.

Note that the settings shown above are the default settings.  If any of the default settings are changed, GoldSim indicates this in the Time tab of the Simulation Settings dialog by placing a check on the Advanced… button:
