Simulation Settings Dialog Box
The Settings button on the Simulate tab provides access to the Simulation Settings dialog box.
It is possible to override the Start and End dates that the simulation runs between. Selecting the Override Start/End
dates check box enables the date boxes and allows you to choose the start and end dates. By doing this, you can
simulate a small sub-section of the overall project. The dates will be shown on the Simulate tab. These dates will
also be used when exporting animations.
You can define the Interval Size to use when stepping through the simulation using the playback controls. The
interval size can be set either as a percentage of the overall simulation duration or to an absolute number of days
or weeks, and so on.
Use the drop-down list to select the interval unit, then use the Up and Down arrow buttons to increase or decrease
the interval size.
