Analyze simulation results

The simulation analysis interface provides an intuitive way to visualize your simulation results. Explore key insights from your simulations, identify trends, analyze performance metrics and compare different simulation scenarios using different widgets.

To access simulation results:

1. In the header, click Menu and select Simulations.

2. Click the simulation name or click and select View results.

   This opens the Simulation analysis interface.

Simulation analysis interface

The simulation analysis interface gives you access to the results table and heatmap widgets. You can rename the widgets to better organize your analysis.

1. Show or hide the Simulation analysis panel.

2. Rename widgets.

Rename widgets

Giving widgets clear, descriptive names can make it easier to identify and manage them.

1. In the Simulation analysis panel, click and select Rename.

2. In the dialog box that opens, give the widget a name then click Rename.

Results table

The results table provides information on how many tokens were completed for every element in the process as well as valuable insights into simulation outputs such as processing time, duration, wait time, lag and elapsed time.

The interactive table allows you to filter row data, show and hide columns and sort data in ascending or descending order.

Any filters, sorting, or column visibility changes you apply to the table are automatically saved. The next time you open the table, you’ll see it with your applied settings, including the filters, sorting, and columns you’ve chosen to display or hide.

Show and hide columns

Select which columns to show or hide in the table.

The Columns button in the toolbar displays the number of columns that are currently shown in the table.

1. In the table toolbar, click Columns.

2. In the dialog box that opens, select the checkbox next to the column to show the column or deselect to hide it.

   Use Deselect all to hide all columns or Select all to show all columns.

Filter rows

Filter rows using the values under a specific column.

1. Hover over the column header until the filter icon appears, then click it.

   When you activate the filter icon, it changes to red.

2. In the context menu that opens, click to select the type of filter and in the search field, type the term or number you want to filter by.

   When you apply a filter, the Filter button in the toolbar displays the number of filters that have been applied to the table.

   

To clear filters:

• In the table toolbar, click Filters and select Clear filters.

  This removes all the filters applied to the table.

Sort column data

Sort data in ascending or descending order.

• In the table header, click the column name until the sort icon appears.

  Click again to change the sorting order.

  sorts data in ascending order.

  sorts data in descending order.

Download results table

You can download the results of the simulation in CSV format to analyze the data in detail.

If you’ve applied filters to the table, the downloaded table will include any filters currently applied to the table.

To download:

• In the table toolbar, click Filters and select Download table as CSV.

  This downloads the file to your device.

Heatmap

The heatmap is a visual tool that colors process elements based on the magnitude of a simulation output using a color scale that runs from hot (red) to cool (green). Hotter colors indicate higher values, cooler colors indicate lower values.

To view the heatmap:

• Open the Heatmap tab at the bottom-left of the screen.

How to use the heatmap

In the toolbar, select the output you want to visualize and the diagram (if the project contains multiple diagrams).

1. Select an output.

   Click and select an output from the list.

   You can only visualize one output at a time.

2. Change the diagram.

   Click and select the diagram from the list.

3. View information on the outputs for each element.

   Click the element. A popup shows the values of the parameter you’ve chosen.

   Click More results to see additional information.

4. Change visualization using zoom controls and the mini-map.

   

Zoom and pan the heatmap

You can zoom and pan the heatmap using various tools: mouse, zoom toolbar and mini-map.

Zoom

• Mouse: press the Ctrl key and rotate the mouse wheel up to zoom in or down to zoom out.

• Zoom toolbar: click to zoom in and to zoom out.

Pan

Position the mouse pointer outside the heatmap area, press and hold the left mouse button and move the pointer to pan the view.

Zoom and pan with the mini-map

The mini-map provides a bird’s-eye view of your process, helping you find your orientation within the diagram. It’s especially useful for navigating large, complex diagrams.

To open the mini-map: in the zoom toolbar, click .

• Zoom in and out: Position the mouse on the mini-map and rotate the mouse wheel up to zoom in or down to zoom out.

• Pan : Click and drag the mini-map to move around the diagram.
