View simulation results

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

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

To view the results:

  • On the Simulations page, click the simulation name or click and select View results.

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.

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.

Zoom and pan the heatmap

To zoom:

  • Press the Ctrl key on your keyboard and rotate the mouse wheel up to zoom in or down to zoom out.

To pan:

  • Position the mouse pointer outside the heatmap. Press and hold the left mouse button and move the pointer.
