The Results Player displays numerical values from a CSV file directly in composite structure diagrams, such as Internal Block Diagram, Parametric, etc. This allows you to review the simulation results, specific time steps, and display results of an external simulation (for example, a SSP export SSP export).

Launching the Results Player

You can launch the Results Player both through the Containment tree and the composite structure diagram.

To launch the Results Player


  • In the Containment tree, right-click the composite structure diagram and select Tools> Results Player.



  • In the composite structure diagram, right-click anywhere and select Tools>Results Player.


Loading CSV export file

You must load the CSV export file to be able to use the Results Player. You can load the CSV export file either manually or automatically after simulation terminates.

To load the CSV export file manually


  1. Click on the Load File command in the Results Player.



  2. In the Open dialog, select the CSV file.



Note
titlePrerequisites
  • The CSV file must be comma-delimited.
  • The first column must contain time values. Time units can be specified in parentheses; otherwise, seconds are used. Supported time units are ns, µs, ms, s, min, h, d, mo, y. 
  • Other column headers must have property paths specified in dot notation, such as engine.valveTrain.speed. Unrecognized columns are ignored.


To load a CSV export file automatically when a simulation terminates.


  1. In the Specification of CSV export dialog, set the Load in Player property to true.



Info

SysML properties are mapped to CSV file headers depending on the diagram where the file is loaded. For example, if the file has information on a System, then it must be loaded in a diagram displaying the System structure. It cannot be loaded in other level diagrams (such as Controller or Water Tank).
