Single-stepping Simulations

Before you run a simulation or after you stop it, you can use the Single Step command to watch the simulation process generate one set of values (a trial) at a time for the assumption cells and recalculate the spreadsheet. This feature is useful if you are trying to track down a calculation error or verify that the values being produced for the assumption cells are valid.

  To observe an individual trial:

  1. Click the Reset button, Reset button, on the Crystal Ball toolbar or Control Panel.

  2. Click the Step button, Step button, to run one trial of the simulation. Click the button again to run another.
