Starting Simulation

Parent Previous Next

Once your model includes all simulation specific parameters / settings, you can execute simulation experiments. Afterwards you can analyze the experiment results.


Start Buttons

Select Simulation from the property set in the Properties window. After that, you can see the Ribbon Tab Simulation in the main menu, which contains the following buttons:


Clicking this button will start the simulation on the currently selected diagram (BPMN model).

Clicking this button will start the simulation on the currently selected BPI project. All the models of the project will be simulated, and there will be a report generated for each one.


Requirements

You need to enrich your models with additional information, like duration parameters for activities or point in times for events. You have to ensure that all exclusive and inclusive gateways have determinable conditions and/or probabilities. If you have not set all of these parameters, simulation will not start. Once you clicked a start button, IYOPRO will help you to enter the missing parameters. Open the Output view for a list of missing information.


Experiment Result

If simulation was successful, a report is generated. See section Report to learn more about experiment results.
