Results Management

The Results Management View displays a Grid Window of simulations in the current database or in a particular Group or Model Group. The grid describes the simulations, and what results are currently stored. The grid can be used to re-run selected simulations, remove unwanted results or view further information.

The following versions of the view are available:

Group Management View: displays all simulation within a Group.
Model Group Results Management View: displays all simulations within a Model Group.

To display the Results Management View right-click on the model group or the database icon in the Explorer window and select Open results manager from the popup menu.

Multiple Results Management Views can be opened for the same object or for different objects.

Grid columns

The Results Management grid contains the following columns:

Group	The name of the Model Group within which the simulations were carried out.
Path	Path of the Model Group within which the simulations were carried out.
ID	The internal database identifier for this simulation.
Run	The name of the run within which the simulations were carried out.
Sim	The name of the simulation.
Status	The current simulation status: Pending, Complete, Unknown or Failed.
Date	The date and time when the simulation was carried out.
User	The user who carried out the simulation.
Location	The location where the simulation results are stored: Local Machine - results are stored in the Local Results Folder. Used for on-premise and cloud results. Server - results are stored in the Remote Results Root. Used for on-premise results. Cloud - results are stored on the cloud. Used for cloud results. These results can be downloaded to your Local Results Folder using the download options in either popup menu in the Results Management view or from the Explorer window. Note: If a simulation object, which has local results, is deleted in the Explorer window, or using the Delete all local results files option in the Results Management menu, the results are only deleted locally. They will still be available on the cloud, and their Location will change from 'Local Machine' to 'Cloud' in the Results Management View to reflect this. Similarly, if you download results from the cloud to your local results folder, their Location will change from 'Cloud' to 'Local Machine'.
Local result type	Indicates the type of results files available in your Local Results Folder: None - No results are available. Summary - Summary results are available. Applicable only to cloud simulations. Full - Full results are available. Tip: If results for a cloud simulation are not available in your local folder, or you would like full rather than summary results, you can download them using the applicable download option described in Menu operations below. If results for an on-premise simulation are not available locally, you can re-run the simulation. See Menu operations below.
Size	Size of the results file. The size of the file will not be included for results that are located on the cloud.
Log file	Indicates if a log file is available. For an on-premise simulation, the log file is stored in the database. For a cloud simulation, log files are only available for results which are stored locally, ie, the Location of the results is 'Local Machine'. The field will be blank if the Location of the results is 'Cloud'.

Selecting simulations

You can select one or more simulations in the list:

Click on a row to select that row.
Click on a row and then drag the pointer with the Shift key held down to select a range of rows.
Click on a row with the CTRL key held down to add that row to the existing selection.

Menu operations

Right-click anywhere in the grid to display a popup menu. The menu provides the following options, which are carried out on the selected simulations:

Delete time-varying results files	This option is only available for on-premise simulations whose Local result type is Full. Deletes the results files. Only the simulation log file, the simulation status file and the state files will remain. The simulation can be re-run to regenerate the results.
Delete all results files	This option is only available for on-premise simulations whose Local result type is Full or None. Deletes all results files. The simulation can be re-run to regenerate the results.
Delete local non-summary results files	This option is only available for cloud simulations whose Local result type is Full. Deletes all results files except any time-varying results files and the status and log files from the Local Results Folder. Full results can still be downloaded cloud.
Delete all local results files	This option is available for cloud simulations whose Local result type is Full or Summary. All results for the selected simulations are deleted from your results local folder but will still be available in the cloud.
Delete simulation	Deletes the entire simulation. The simulation is permanently destroyed and cannot be re-run.
Download full results	This option is only available for cloud simulations. Downloads full results to your Local Results Folder. Available when you right-click on one or more rows where the Local result type is None or Summary.
Download summary results	This option is only available for cloud simulations. Downloads summary results to your Local Results Folder. Available when you right-click on one or more rows where the Local result type is None.
Move results files to server	This option is only available for on-premise simulations. Moves the results data files to server. (See below for further details)
Re-run simulation	This option is only available for on-premise simulations Moves the results data files to server. (See below for further details)
View log file	Displays the simulation log file. For cloud simulations, log files are only available for results which are stored locally, ie, the Location of the results is 'Local Machine'.
Refresh from database	Reloads details of either the selected simulations or all simulations from the database. This option may be needed as changes to the status of simulations are not refreshed automatically.

All these options display a prompt requesting confirmation of the action.

Move results data to server

The following information applies to results for on-premise simulations.

The Move results files to server option allows results generated on a local machine to be copied to the Remote Results Root. The Remote Results Root should be set up on a server, where other users will have access. There are some rules governing the regeneration of results when those results have been moved:

If the results have been moved to the server and the data files exist on the server, regeneration will generate the files on the server.
If the results have been moved to the server and then deleted, regeneration will generate the files according to the location set for the run to which the simulation belongs.
An attempt to move simulation results when they have been deleted has no effect on location.

Sorting the data

The simulations list can be sorted on any column when you click on the column header.
