Experiment Results Perspective
Experiment results are displayed automatically after every simulation run. The graphical overlay provides an overview of simulation results regarding process costs, iterations, processing and waiting time. It consists of the following overlay components
Histograms
A histogram is a graphical representation of simulation results which contains information of total costs, average waiting and processing time of each activities. The bar length represents the proportion of the activity results in comparison to the maximal results of the specific simulation run. Concrete numerical results for activities can be displayed by moving the mouse pointer over a histogram.
Counters
Counters represent the absolute frequency of an element for a specific simulation run. They can be displayed for events and activities.
Sankey Style
The Sankey Style illustrates the quantity of iterations for a single sequence flow in proportion to the total amount of process runs for a specific simulation run. Sequence flows with a higher number of iterations are displayed proportionally wider than those with a lower number of iterations.
Sankey Style for different products
A simulation which includes more than one product will result in a Sankey Styles with different colors - one for each product. The width of each color string is influenced by the number of iterations for each product in proportion to the overall count of the sequence flow. The concrete numerical iterations for each product can be displayed by moving the mouse pointer over a Sankey Style.
Overlay Options
Overlay Options provide an opportunity to customize the complexity of provided experiment results shown on collaboration diagrams.
The following settings are available:
- Colorize
-
Activate and deactivate the colorization of activities. Activities can by colorized referring to their number of iterations, total costs, average waiting and processing time. A red color signals a high proportion and green a low proportion in comparison to the maximum result of the particular characteristic.
- Color Count
-
Define the number of different colors for Sankey illustrations. It can be set between 1 and 16.
- Event Count
-
Activate and deactivate the event counter.
- Activity Count
-
Activate and deactivate the activity counter
- Activity Histogram
-
Activate and deactivate Histograms for activities.
- Sankey-Style Sequence Flow
-
Activate and deactivate Sankey Style.
