Simulation Delay

A Simulation Delay makes it possible to delay dynamic simulations. Or, in other words, to make them run slower. Adding a Simulation Delay to a dynamic simulation is recommended if people will be using your simulation on different computers with different processing power. The delay is measured in milliseconds between each calculation timestep.

Tab sheet: Basics

1.	Click the Basics tab sheet.

2.	Decide how you want the slider to appear on the screen by selecting the appropriate Orientation.

3.	In the Stop box, type the stop value of the slider (the maximum delay, 500 is default).

4.	In the Step box, type the step value of the slider (the minimum increment for the delay, 10 is default).

5.	Click Apply.

Tab sheet: Colour

1.	Click the Colour tab sheet.

2.	Select a colour from the palette. You can also type a value for the Red, Green and Blue value (0-255) or use the sliders.

3.	Indicate whether the color is for the Background or the Slider.

4.	Click Apply.

Tab sheet: Position

Please note! Using this tab sheet to set the position is optional. Instead of dragging and resizing, you can use the Position tab sheet to specify relative and absolute positions.

Click the Position tab sheet.
- Left, Top, Right, an Bottom, refer to the four sides of the element.
- Relative Position refers to the position on the window, where the maximum left and top side of the window refer to 0, and the maximum right and bottom side of the window refer to 1.
- Offset refers to the amount of pixels from the topleft corner of the window.

2.	Determine the relative position of the left, top, right, and bottom side of the element by typing values between 0 and 1 in the appropriate Relative Position boxes.

3.	Determine the size of the element by typing the amount of pixels in the appropriate Offset boxes.

4.	Click Apply.
