Creating initial instances

When you run an executable model with instrumentation set to Animation, Rhapsody® displays the Animation toolbar. This toolbar automatically appears during an animation session. To display or hide this toolbar during an animation session, select View > Toolbars > Animation.

About this task

It is a good idea to issue a Go Idle command immediately after starting an executable model so all initial instances are created.

To create instances, click Go Idle after starting the model. The initial instances are created (as well as any instances created by those instances) and are listed under the Instances category for the class in the browser.

The instance name is in the format class[n], where n is the number of instances, beginning with 0, that have been created since the model began executing. It is not possible to change this number.
