Figure 2 shows features of the Data Sources Explorer containing all data sources available in the scenario, both from time series data files and another scenario. Additionally, the nodes that some of the data sources are associated with are shown. Once a time series has been assigned to a node it is locked to that node, as indicated by the padlock.

titlePerformance Improvement
Excerpt

Performance can be improved on large models by splitting the model in to parts and running them separately and then using scenario data sources. For example, a model can be split into an upstream and a downstream scenario. Then, the results from the upstream scenario can be a scenario data source in the downstream scenario. In this case, Reload on Run should generally be enabled, to ensure that the downstream scenario is always using the most recent results from the upstream scenario.

 


You can only load the result(s) of scenario run(s). Therefore, ensure that the donor scenario has been run before you load the scenario data source into the acceptor scenario.

Note: If the Sets if a failed "Reload on run" will stop the current run button in the Data Sources toolbar is enabled (it is shown enabled in Figure 3), and the data source cannot be found, the scenario run will fail. However, if this icon is toggled off, Source will continue to use the data in its internal store, regardless of whether the source file can be found or the source scenario has been run yet.

An example of a completed table is shown in Figure 10.
