Simulation case input

The set of forms available in the simulation workflow are focused on gathering and entering the data for the simulation. While some input fields exist in the forms, most of the input will be entered into Excel-style tables in the various simulation views. These tables are easy to use as they should be familiar to anyone who has worked with a spreadsheet application, and are flexible in that you can use standard copy and paste functionality to get data into and out of the tables.

These views can be opened from both the Case Explorer and the simulation workflow forms. There is a relationship between the simulation case as you see it in the Case Explorer and the forms; all of the views that can be opened in the Case Explorer can also be accessed in the various forms. For example, you can open the General Settings view by double clicking the 'General Settings' section in the Case Explorer or you can open it via the Edit settings button in the Simulation Case form. The following sections further detail the data input process.
