Simul8 Assistant

The Simul8 Assistant uses expert system technology to help you get your simulation right. It monitors your simulation building and the way you are using your simulation to provide advice where appropriate.

The Simul8 Assistant looks like a speech bubble icon on the quick access menu on the top-left of the Simul8 tool bar. Whe there are suggestions available, a red dot will appear on the icon.

The summary provides a list of the advice given by the Simul8 Assistant. Clicking on each line in turn will provide more information in the Detail section.

The advice can be filtered using the box on the right. This means that you can search for terms and even object names, to get a better idea of what may be happening in your simulation.

Once you have read some advice, you might decide it is not relevant to the way you use the simulation. In this case you can ask the assistant not to give you that advice again. You can switch off a particular category of advice completely or just for this particular case, using the check boxes at the bottom. You can also turn the assistant off all together. This can also be done by navigating to:

1. File > Preferences > Options
2. Check the box for No Support

The Reset All button in the assistant dialog can be used to switch back on all categories of advice.
