Create a simulation

Create a simulation to see what will happen in a given scenario.

Prerequisite

Before you create a simulation:

  • See Configure modules.

  • Configure the Scenario Planning module with the xtype module_scenario_planning_infrastructure.

Understand the simulation lifecycle

From creation to closure, a simulation’s lifecycle states are:

  • 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.

  3. Click the New simulation button.

  4. In the panel, enter:

    • Name.

    • Description.
