Experiments

Suppose you have created an experiment, run it, and then decide you need additional design points or more replicates for individual design points. After you have modified your experiment to reflect these needs, you can select the Run→Start from the main menu (or use the corresponding toolbar option) to run the simulation again. Simulation Studio clears any previous results and proceeds to run or rerun every selected design point and replication in the experiment. If no design points are selected, all points in the entire experiment are rerun.

Alternatively, you can manually select the design points you need to run or rerun and then select Run→Start or use the corresponding toolbar option. This second approach also has limitations because you cannot select replications within an individual design point.

Simulation Studio provides another alternative, called augment run, to facilitate this simulation scenario. When you select the icon from the toolbar or select Run→Augment from the main menu, Simulation Studio attempts to run any design points and replication rows that have not been previously run in the experiment. This unique approach provides you an option for incrementally expanding your design matrix results. When using Augment to run your model, any previously saved data sets in the project results folder will not be deleted.
