will step back a single step size.
Reverse Play will play the simulation backwards.
Pause will pause the simulation at the time you press it at. You can then look
around and interrogate the model, or step forwards and backwards through the
simulation. To continue playing from where you paused, just press Play again.
Stop will stop the simulation playing and rewind back to the beginning.
Play will play the simulation from the currently selected time.
Step Forwards will step forwards a single step size.
Forward will fast forward the simulation to the end.
You can use the Simulation Position slider to quickly move forwards and backwards through the
simulation. Full left is at the beginning and full right is at the end.
The Date/Time box below the VCR buttons shows the point in time through the simulation. You can click
on the drop-down icon to the right of the date to display a calendar, from which you can select a date to
'jump' to.
The Active Tasks
You can view the current simulation time for each of the active tasks, and how close to completion they
are (Progress is displayed as a percentage). The Status of each active task is also displayed as an icon.
For simulations where Planned and Actual dates are available, the status provides a visual representation
as to whether there is any variance between the planned and actual dates. See TimeLiner task status for
more information.
