Running Simulations |  |  |  |

After you have set up your analysis on the input pages, click the Run all Simulations button to run simulations. Solar Advisor runs a simulation based on the values of input variables that appear on the input pages and reports those values as "base case" results. It also runs any simulations defined on the Configure Simulations pages.

Solar Advisor provides several options on the Case menu for running simulations:

Run All Simulations

Runs all of the simulations configured in the current case. Equivalent to clicking the Run button. This option does not save hourly results.

Run All Saving Hourly Data

Runs all of the simulations configured in the current case. Creates a single set of hourly performance results based on the input values shown on the input pages. See Viewing Hourly Performance Data for information about saving hourly results.

Run Base Case Only

Runs a single simulation based on the input values shown on the input pages, ignoring any parametric, sensitivity, optimization or other configurations requiring multiple simulation runs, and does not save hourly results.

Run Base Case Saving Hourly Data

Runs a single simulation based on the input values shown on the input pages and saves hourly performance data. Ignores any parametric, sensitivity, optimization or other configurations requiring multiple simulation runs. See Viewing Hourly Performance Data for information about saving hourly results.
