Highlighting Outputs that Will be Saved

In some cases, you may want to quickly ascertain which outputs in a model are set to be saved. This is important, for example, if you discovered (from the Container dialog) that a large amount of disk space will be required to store all of the results, and you wish to turn some of the save flags off.

GoldSim provides a quick way to do this. In particular, you can instruct GoldSim to highlight all elements (and outputs) for which results are to be saved. You do this by selecting View | Highlight Saved Results from the main menu. You can toggle highlighting on and off separately for Final Values and Time Histories. After doing so, elements and outputs for which results will be saved will be displayed in bold text within the browser. Moreover, the output ports for elements for which results will be saved will be changed to green.

   Note: By default, only elements are displayed in the browser.  If you also wish to view all of the elements’ inputs and outputs in the browser, right-click anywhere in the browser window and select Show Element Subitems.  You can also do this directly from the main menu by selecting View | Show Element Subitems.
