Running a simulation

Once the simulation scenario has been completely defined (in other words, once the user defined the victim link and at least one interfering link) and the simulation control parameters were checked, the user may proceed with performing the actual simulation, i.e. the generation of simulated scenario events.

The simulation is started when the user clicks on the Start button of SEAMCAT toolbar. The simulation starts and all other commands/buttons are meanwhile disabled, except the Stop button:

Before the event generation starts, SEAMCAT will automatically perform the consistency check of the scenario parameters. See also here for interpretation of possible warning messages.

The simulation will run until the termination criteria set in simulation control had been fulfilled, i.e. either the prescribed number of trials had been performed or the time limit had been reached. Besides, the user can stop the simulation at any time (after completion of a given snapshot) by pressing the Stop button.

The progress bar at the bottom of the screen reflects the proportion of carried out events with respect to overall number of scheduled events.

During the event generation all involved transceivers (IT, WR, VR and WT) are plotted in graphical display window placed on the simulation status tab page.

When simulating CDMA systems, user will have access to additional display window "CDMA System details", which will become active after completion of the simulation, allowing the user to expect the internal details of CDMA cluster based on data from the last snapshot.

After performing event generation the user is then able to:

When the user would like to modify the scenario and repeat the simulation, it is done by repeating the whole process, i.e. opening the relevant scenario dialogue windows, updating the required parameters as necessary and re-launching the simulation with the Start button.
