Running a Longer Simulation of the Results

  To more accurately assess the recommended solution, run a longer Crystal Ball simulation using the optimal values of the decision variables.

1. If you did not select to automatically copy OptQuest results to the model workbook (set in the Options panel), you can select Edit, and then Copy [Best] Solution to Spreadsheet in the OptQuest Results window.

   OptQuest copies the decision variables values from the selected solution into the Microsoft Excel model.

2. In Crystal Ball, reset the optimization, select Run, and then Run Preferences, and increase the maximum number of trials per simulation.

3. Run the simulation.

4. Use Crystal Ball analysis tools to analyze your results.

   For more information on using these tools, see the Oracle Crystal Ball User's Guide.
