Single-stepping Simulations

Before you run a simulation or after you stop it, you can use the Single Step command to watch the simulation process generate one set of values (a trial) at a time for the assumption cells and recalculate the spreadsheet. This feature is useful if you are trying to track down a calculation error or verify that the values being produced for the assumption cells are valid.

  To observe an individual trial:

  1. Select Run, and then Reset [Simulation] or click the Reset button on the Crystal Ball toolbar or Control Panel, Reset button.

  2. Select Run, and then [Single] Step or click the Single-Step or Step button to run one trial of the simulation. Click the button again to run another. Step button
