Experimentation / Running the Model without Animation
When a model is run by pressing the Run button from the Facility Window, it is being run in Interactive Mode with full
animation and the ability for a user to make certain changes to the model in the middle of the run. However, Simio provides
an alternate way to run a model. If a model is run from within an Experiment, there is no animation and therefore the run
time is significantly reduced. C reating an Experiment also allows a user to run multiple scenarios, each with different input
parameters and/or output responses, allowing the user to set up true experimentation on their model.
Note: An experiment cannot be run in Evaluation mode (i.e. Simio without a license installed) unless the model is within the
Simio Evaluation Edition modeling limits. To see an example of an Experiment, see the AirportTerminal example model that
is included with the installation of Simio. This model contains an experiment that can be run by evaluators.
