Real-time (EventController)

To pause the simulation until the time span between two events has elapsed in real-time, select this. Then, enter the Scaling Factor into the text box to the right.

You have to activate real-time mode to achieve a smooth animation in 3D. Animations, which you imported into 3D only run, when you activate real-time mode. The objects in 3D move with the speed of the corresponding Plant Simulation object and the real-time factor, which you enter here.

Note:

Normally Plant Simulation does not take the time span between events into account, as it is a discrete event simulation system.

Instead of checking , you can also click on the Home Ribbon Tab.

Scaling Factor

Enter or select the scaling factor for real-time mode. The scaling factor sets the time that elapses between two events in real-time. The duration of an event in real-time is the simulation time divided by the scaling factor you entered. The resulting duration is an integer value.
