Time Selector

The time selector appears in the upper left corner of the main window.

The Table button is used to set up a grid of times for the simulation.

The simulation time can be changed by the following:

• selecting a time from the drop-down combo box (press on the arrow pointing down)
• advancing the time one step forward or backward by using the arrows immediately to the right or left of the time display
• advancing the time to the first or last time in the simulation time grid by using the leftmost or rightmost arrows

The main graphics window can be updated for the time shown in the time selector by pressing the button with the filled circle.

When the box is checked in the lower left portion of the time selector, the display is automatically updated when the time changes. In this mode, the arrows are filled, and the leftmost and rightmost arrows have the effect of animation. That is, the display loops over all simulation times, advancing forward from the earliest time (rightmost arrow) or backward from the latest time (leftmost arrow).
