Observing Other Process Views with a Simulation

This procedure describes how to view data in other formats (e.g., the Gantt chart) while viewing the simulation.
This procedure assumes that you have a process with activities loaded.

  1. Click Open Gantt Chart.

  2. From the menu, select Window > Tile Vertically.

  3. Select a process, click Process Simulation, then play the simulation. 

    As the simulation progresses, each activity without children in the simulation is highlighted in turn.  In addition, you can set an option to show a bar that moves along the timeline to show the current simulation time.  See Tools > Options > Digital Process for Manufacturing > Gantt Chart.

  4. Repeat this procedure, using Open PERT Chart in Step 1.

    The currently simulated activities without children are highlighted as the simulation progresses.

  5. To end the simulation:

    • Press the X (close) button in the upper right hand corner of the Process Simulation pop-up toolbar OR
    • Click Process Simulation (the command changes from orange to its original colors).
