Update and automatic update

You can update your plot(s) both while a simulation is running and at the end of the simulation run to refresh the display. You can do this manually or automatically.

Update

This action reloads results from the results file for all curves contained in a plot window.

Procedure

1. To update the graphs that are local to a plot window, click the update button from the plot toolbar; or use the entry Tools > Update from the plot menu bar.

   Figure 9: Update entry in the plot menu bar

2. To update the graphs of all plot windows, use the update button from the analysis toolbar of Simcenter Amesim; or use the entry Simulate > Update from the menu bar of Simcenter Amesim.

   Figure 10: Update entry in the Simcenter Amesim menu bar

   If you want your plots to always be up to date with the last simulation, you can check the Update after simulation option from Tools > Advanced from the menu bar of Simcenter Amesim. The overall update is then applied automatically once the simulation run is completed. Figure 11: Update after simulation option

Automatic update

Auto Update of plot

This mode allows you to automatically update the graphs that are local to a plot window during a simulation. The icon that is displayed on the right in the plot status bar (bottom part of a plot window) gives you information about the activation state of this mode. The mode is activated when the icon is colored; it is deactivated when the icon is greed

Procedure

To activate or deactivate this mode, click the icon directly or use the entry Tools > Automatic update from the plot menu bar

Note

You can enable automatic update when performing co-simulation when Simcenter Amesim is operating as the slave.
