Comparing Scenario Results in Scenario Mode

Once a model is in Scenario Mode, if you were to browse the model, you would note the following:

• If you browse to a Scenario Data element, it will display the value for the Active Scenario.

• There is no option to right-click on an element and view its results. Elements do not store results in Scenario Mode.

• If you double-click on a Final Value Result element, what is displayed is a function of how the Result element is configured. It could display results for all scenarios for which scenario results have been generated (and the Show button has been checked) or for only the Active Scenario.

• If you double-click on a Time History Result element or a Distribution Result element, GoldSim displays results for all scenarios for which scenario results have been generated (and the Show button has been checked).

For example, a Time History Result would look like this:

One of the possible displays for a Final Value Result would look like this:

Each scenario is shown and indicated in the legend.

If the simulation is probabilistic, a Distribution Result will look like this, displaying the probability distribution for each scenario:

One of the possible displays for a Final Value Result for a probabilistic simulation allows you to view various statistics for each scenario and would look like this:

Note: Only Time History, Distribution and Final Value Result elements display scenario results. Scenario results cannot be displayed for other types of Result elements.

If you press F4 you can return to Edit Mode (by deleting all scenario results), or you can choose to only delete the scenario results for the Active Scenario (while keeping the others). In this latter case, you will remain in Scenario Mode.

Pressing F5 will run the Active Scenario and place the model in Result Mode. As discussed in the next topic,this allows you to view detailed results for a particular scenario.

Note: All scenario results are deleted when you return to Edit Mode. However, any scenario results that exist prior to entering Result Mode are retained in Result Mode (and can be viewed again if you return to Scenario Mode).
