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 choose Normal or Demo speed, the Options button is active and you can make additional settings.
If the license includes Extreme speed, be sure to read Appendix C, Using the Extreme Speed Feature, 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 as a Crystal Ball option. This setting runs simulations up to 100 times faster than Normal mode but is not suitable for some models. For details, see Appendix C, Using the Extreme Speed Feature.
Normal Speed — The standard simulation option for general model processing.
Demo Speed — Runs simulations in "slow-motion" to make it easier to watch values change in spreadsheet cells and charts.
Options settings — Set update rules for the active worksheet (Normal and Demo speeds only). See Speed Tab Options Settings for details.
Chart Windows settings — Set the redraw rate for any charts open during a simulation.
