Stepping from Current and Selected Components

When a simulation starts, the first component to be executed is indicated with a dotted green box. When you step through the project without making modifications, the box moves from component to component, displaying the success or failure icon until the end of the simulation.

You can select a component other than the current one to inspect or change its properties. The selected component is indicated by a solid green box.

The current component is executed next, when you click Step on the toolbar or select Run > Step. To inspect or change a component that is different from the current component, click it. The solid green box highlights the selected component.

After making changes, resume the simulation from either the selected or the current component:
  • To resume simulation from the selected component, right-click and select Step.

  • To resume simulation from the current component, click Step on the toolbar.

Note:

If you right-click an unprocessed component, and select Initialize and Step, the component is initialized and stepped, and the next component to be processed is highlighted.
