Your first simulation

This tutorial will help you to perform your first simulation using CESE. Remember that you can always call this help window by pressing F1 in CESE. Take a look at the Visual Guide to CESE to learn more about CESE interface.

After you launched CESE, several models were probably installed ("autoinstalled") and you will see their short names in the Model Selector. If this selector is empty, use Model Manager command to find the model archive(s) and install them.

Select the model you want to use in the Model Selector. Note that as you switch models, Parameters Table and Display Tree change to reflect the parameters in the current model.

You can also modify model parameters at this stage. Click on a cell in the "Value" column of the Parameters Table and enter the new value for the variable you want to modify. Press <Enter>. If the new value is correct it will be modified, otherwise, the old value will be restored.

Now select one or several variables in the Display Tree. These are the variables that will be visualized in a Results View window. Make sure to select the individual variables, and not the categories. You can select more than one variable, they will be grouped together in the sweep.

Use the New/top window button (the rightmost button in the toolbar) to select whether data will be presented in a new, or added to the top Results View window.

Now press the Start Simulation button on the toolbar (or select this command from the menu) to perform a simulation run. After simulation is done, you will see the resulting data in a Results View window. Congratulations, you've just performed your first simulation using CESE.

Now you can explore some advanced CESE features -- try data analysing, saving and restoring model state, printing, and clamping.
