Model Execution

VisualDOC provides real-time visual feedback for model execution. It provides a large number of options and facilities to define, control, automate, and inspect model execution. A partial list of model execution facilities is as follows.

Breakpoints

• Real-time visual feedback: Highlights the component that is currently running
• All the simulation data shown anywhere updated in real-time
• Cyclic/conditional execution of the VisualDOC model
• Execute individual components or only a part of a sub-flow
• Batch-mode execution: run a simulation unattended
• Extremely powerful debugging support
  • Add/remove/enable/disable breakpoints
  • Start/Stop/Pause/Continue a simulation
  • Step-by-step execution (interactive)
• Remote Run: VisualDOC allows the user to run itself on the local host computer, and perform the expensive analysis on another remote computer. Running the analysis on a remote computer is accomplished via ssh protocal. The local computer where the VisualDOC GUI runs must have a ssh client, while the remote computer where the analysis runs, must run a ssh server.
• Red Octagon: Enabled breakpoint
• Green Circle: Disabled breakpoint
• Large Red Octagon with Cross: Active breakpoint
