The Simcenter Amesim working modes
Changing modes
Changing mode
The Mode tabs allow you to change between the Simcenter Amesim modes.
There are a few restrictions:
You cannot enter Submodel mode from Sketch mode until the sketch is complete with all ports connected. If your sketch contains unconnected items, these are highlighted when you try to switch to Submodel mode:
Figure 18: Unconnected item highlighted
You cannot enter Parameter mode or Simulation mode from Submodel mode until all components and lines have submodels.
In addition, you may be blocked from leaving a mode because a dialog box is open which must be closed first.
