The Transient/Series options menu controls the defaults for the time parameters values and frequency of transient or steady state series calculations:

Series control

•Default start time

The default transient start time (default 0.000).

•Simulation step

The calculation (time) step or interval of calculated quasi-steady state or steady state series operating points in seconds (default 0.050).

•Output interval

The time interval in seconds at which the parameter output is send to the output table (default 0.200).

•Output at adapted points/time steps
When the solver changed the intervals during calculation (for numerical stability) output data at adapted points/time steps will be displayed.

•Maximum point/time

The time in seconds at which the transient or steady state series must stop (default 1E20, to make the calculation proceed until a transient input time series ends).

•Always start at default start point/time
Always reset start time/point to default start time value prior to series/transient simulation run.

•Show start point/time dialog
Show start point/time dialog prior to series/transient simulation run.

Reset State on each step

•Design point series
On design point series runs, reset model state variables back to 1 before each step. In some cases with DP equation controllers, this may improve convergence speed.

Error handling

•Batch mode; continue without user response (report error in output table)
On error continue without user interaction.

•Reset state to Design after error
After error reset the state to design.
