Simulation Menu

The Simulation menu includes a menu for simulation of state models generated based on control flow and a menu for simulation of the state model generated based on operation effects.

• The menu for simulation of state models generated based on control flow includes a sub-menu for each of the top-level use cases in the use case model. Each sub-menu allow to simulate the control flow state model of their corresponding use case. In addition, a sub-menu Simulate StateChart Chart allows simulation of the global control-based state model. This sub-menu includes

  Set Initial Use Case

  to specify which use case(s) are initially enabled to execute.

  Start New Simulation

  to initiate a new simulation session. A new scenario is added to the simulation history and a new simulation starts from the current initial state. The added scenario records all simulated events up to the start of the next simulation session.

• The menu for simulation of the state model generated based on operation effects includes

  Start New Simulation

  to initiate a new simulation session.

  Set Initial State

  to set an initial state. By default UCEd set the first created state as the initial state. This feature allows setting up a new state as the initial state by choosing among all the state model states.

In addition, the Simulation menu includes a menu View Simulation History to view a list of scenarios generated from previous simulation sessions.
