About the Runtime Gateway Layout

The Runtime Gateway resembles the Design Gateway. You can use the Runtime Gateway to control model or component execution, view results, and work with approximations for components.

The following figure shows the Isight Runtime Gateway with the main areas labeled:

Use these areas to:

Menu bar Build and manipulate a model. For a complete list of menu options, see Runtime Gateway Menu Options.
Toolbar Open models, save models, access the Job Database interface, load different jobs, and execute models. For more information, see Runtime Gateway Toolbar Buttons.
Model Explorer View the components that make up your model. You can use this area to switch between components. For example, when you are viewing the Parameters tab, you can change which component’s parameters you are currently viewing using the model explorer.
Canvas located on the Sim-flow and Dataflow tabs) Display a graphic version of your model simulation process flow and dataflow.
Show Details Display parameters and files for the component currently selected in the model explorer.
Tabs The tabs available in the Runtime Gateway are different from those in the Design Gateway. The following tabs are available:
  • The Sim-flow tab appears when a model or component execution is started from the Design Gateway. It displays the execution progress of each component in the simulation process flow. A flag appears above each component when it has executed successfully. Options on the Sim-flow tab allow you to edit individual components (see Right-Click Menu Options) and to manipulate the canvas (see Manipulating the Canvas).
  • You can use the Dataflow tab to graphically display how information moves from one component to the another (see Viewing the Parameter Mappings Between Components). By default, this tab is hidden.
  • You can use the Parameters tab to evaluate the results of parameters in your model’s components and to display the input and output parameter values for the most recent execution. For more information, see Using Parameters.
  • You can use the History tab to show parameter values from the execution of a model. The History tab differs from the Parameters tab in that it shows the values for numerous runs. The number of rows displayed is based on the number of times the specified component was executed (e.g., one row means a single execution, and twenty rows means twenty executions). For more information, see Working with the History of Component Runs.
  • You can use the Data Analysis tab to help you analyze model execution data by using the Engineering Data Mining (EDM) tool, correlations maps, and scatter plots (see Using the Data Analysis Tools).
  • You can use the Visual Design tab to create and use approximations directly from the Runtime Gateway, instead of creating approximations using the Design Gateway (see Creating and Using Approximations).
  • Graphs. Create graphs and tables to view execution data (see Viewing and Analyzing Results).
  • Summary. View post-execution information. All components display basic information, such as execution start time and duration. However, some components, such as the DOE component, display more detailed information (see Viewing a Summary of Component Data).
  • Logs. Display log information that may be helpful during execution, especially if an error occurs (see Viewing Job Execution Information).
Current Job Switch between the jobs associated with the currently selected model.
Component Title Bar View the name of the currently selected component and to access buttons for editing the component or working with approximations for the component.
Graphs Overview area Automatically generate visuals based on parameters you select and to view any visuals created in the Design Gateway or Runtime Gateway. Graphs and tables created in this area are also added to the Graphs tab. For more information, see Viewing and Analyzing Results.
Message Bar View error messages from model execution and other status information.
Run Number Bar Scroll through the graph information based on individual run numbers.
Log Button Open the Log Viewer, which allows you to view the Design Gateway log file. For more information, see Validating a Model and Accessing the Log File.
Server Information Button View connection information if you are connected to the SIMULIA Execution Engine environment. If you are using Isight in Standalone mode, you cannot click this button; it is for information purposes only. For more information, see Viewing SIMULIA Execution Engine Connection Information.
