1.1.2   Run

QW-Simulator Run tab is arranged in sections enabling basic file operations like loading projects, defining Breakpoints, and starting and managing simulation process.

Project section

Project section contains the following commands:

 - opens QW-Simulator tasker, parameters, shape or freeze file

 - shows the list of projects that have been recently loaded. See Preferences chapter for more information about setting the number of recent files.

 - opens tasker file (*.ta3)

 - opens freeze file (*.sfr)

 - opens shape file (*.sh3)

 - opens and edits project description file

 - edits current tasker file

 - opens Import Recent Files dialogue for importing recent files list from other version of QuickWave

 - clears the list of projects that have been recently loaded

 - clears the list and settings of windows that have been opened

Freeze section

Freeze section contains the following command:

 - saves the current simulation state to the freeze file

Run Simulation section

Run Simulation section contains the following commands:

 - starts the simulation

 - stops the simulation

 - suspends the simulation

 - resumes the simulation

 - executes one FDTD iteration of the current simulation

 - opens Batch Run dialogue for configuration of batch simulations

 - sets system priority of QW-Simulator process

Breakpoints section

Breakpoints section contains the following command:

 - opens Breakpoints dialogue for breakpoints configuration

Create section

Create section contains the following commands:

 - creates the simulation but does not start the calculation (see Step by step simulation execution)

 - deletes created simulation

Next section

Next section contains the following commands:

 - switches to the next task defined in the task list

 - switches to the next available post-processing and sets it as current (the name of the current post-processing is displayed in the status bar)

Template section

Template section contains the following commands:

 - activates the test mode of the template mode generation – the 2D/3D Fields Distribution window will be displayed for each process of template mode generation

 - opens 2D/3D Fields Distribution windows with all generated template mode fields distribution

Slow Down section

Slow Down section contains the following commands:

 - opens Slow Down dialogue for switching on or off the simulation slow down

 - switches on or off and sets the size of simulation slow down

Manual BHM section

Manual BHM section contains the following commands:

 - opens BHM Settings dialogue for manual BHM heating pattern construction

 - opens BHM Settings dialogue for invoking manual BHM heating

Point Excitation section

Point Excitation section contains the following command:

 - contains commands for modifying internal impedance of lumped sources/probes:

 - opens Automatic Z Changing dialogue for automatic modification of internal impedance of lumped sources/probe

 - increases internal impedance at a particular time instant: the output impedance will be multiplied by a factor of 1.01

 - decreases internal impedance at a particular time instant: the output impedance will be divided by a factor of 1.01

Change section

Change section contains the following command:

 - opens Change Frequency/Amplitude dialogue for changing the frequency and amplitude of the excitation in the BHM heating process

Waveform section

Waveform section contains the following command:

 - opens 1D Fields window(s) and displays excitation waveform of all sources

Help section

Help section contains the following command:

 - opens help for Run commands (present chapter)
