The Speed tab of the Run Preferences dialog adjusts how fast a simulation runs. Extreme speed is only available in Crystal Ball Decision Optimizer. Extreme speed is the default simulation speed, if it is available. Otherwise, Crystal Ball only runs in Normal or Demo speed. If you select Normal or Demo speed, the Options button is active and you can make additional settings.
If the Crystal Ball license includes Extreme speed, read Appendix C, Extreme Speed Compatibility Issues, for important information about model compatibility. |
For general instructions, see Setting Run Preferences.
The Speed tab of the Run Preferences dialog has these settings:
Run Mode settings — Determine overall simulation speed.
Extreme Speed — Available in Crystal Ball Decision Optimizer. This setting runs simulations up to 100 times faster than Normal mode but is not suitable for some models (Extreme Speed Compatibility Issues).
Normal Speed — The standard simulation option for general model processing.
Demo Speed — Runs simulations slowly to make it easier to watch values change in spreadsheet cells and charts.
Options settings — Set update rules for the active worksheet in Normal and Demo speeds (Speed Tab Options Settings).
Chart Windows settings — Set the redraw rate for any charts open during a simulation.
