Create a Simulation

This topic explains how to create a simulation scenario.

Before you start

  • Configure the module: ⚠️

Create a Simulation

  1. Open on the Simulation Scenario module

  2. Click the “New Simulation” button. A panel appears.

  3. Fill out the form with the following information:

    • Name

    • Description

    • Area of interest to select the area of interest for the simulation

  4. Confirm, and a new simulation will be created in “Started” status.

Simulation Lifecycle

Each simulation follows a formal lifecycle guiding users from creation to closure.

Lifecycle states:

  • Started: the simulation is created and editable but has no linked hypotheses.

  • Active: the normal working state; it has a hypothesis and users work on it.

  • Closed: a winner is announced, and the simulation is read-only.

Delete functionality: power users can delete a simulation. This action requires confirmation and is permanent. Deleting a simulation also removes its hypotheses and linked geodatabase branch versions.
