Hey there, simulation
enthusiasts! 🌟 I’m excited to share some insights
about a fantastic new tool from the Analysis library in ExtendSim – the Analysis
Manager
block.
This nifty block is
designed to streamline your analytical processes and make your life a whole lot
easier. The Analysis Manager acts as a data management system for consolidated
control of parameters and collection of model results. Here's how:
1. Automatic Database Creation
First
off, the Analysis Manager block takes the hassle out of data management.
It automatically creates an Analysis database and stores all your core
analytical process
definitions for you…
factor and response definitions, plus it
collects and catalogues results from your replications for superb
record-keeping and further analysis No more manual setups – just plug and play!
2. Declaring Factors and Responses
Define factors (inputs) and from this one location in the Analysis Manager, experiment with different input values. Define responses (outputs) you want collected from experiment runs. These factors and responses from your blocks and/or databases will be neatly stored in the Analysis database right alongside replication results. It’s like having a personal assistant for your data!
3. Running Replications Made Easy
But wait, there’s more! Once you’ve declared your factors and responses, the Analysis Manager block steps up its game by helping you run your replications. Here’s how it works:
- Initial Run Setup: At the beginning of the first run, it uses your factor definitions to update the input values in your model. This ensures everything is set up perfectly from the get-go.
- Result Collection: At the end of each run, it collects the results based on your response definitions and stores them in the Analysis database. It’s like having a meticulous record keeper who never misses a detail.
And there you have it! The Analysis Manager block is all about making your simulation analysis smoother and more efficient. Give it a try and see how it transforms your workflow. Happy simulating! 🚀
