creates a simulation that runs multiple test cases.
00:12
Essentially GMR is a wrapper around standard simulation types that
00:16
causes a standard simulation to run many times each time,
00:20
modifying multiple values.
00:22
This allows you to visualize a great number of simulation possibilities.
00:26
Each of these possibilities is a test case.
00:30
The generalized multi run configuration dialogue is used to specify the
00:34
simulation runs and it provides a wide range of flexibility.
00:38
You can change just one or two values from one simulation to the next such as
00:42
modifying the network or altering any object to create as many test cases as needed.
00:48
Be aware that all of the changes or actions assigned to
00:51
a test case ID will take effect in that simulation.
00:55
Summary results from each test case run are saved as a table.
00:59
This summary table can be reviewed as a report or it
01:02
can be used to theme objects on the GEO plan.

Generalized multi run simulations help you optimize your results.

So you can prioritize investments

In InfoWorks WS Pro, a generalized multi-run, or GMR, creates a simulation that runs multiple test cases.
GMR is a wrapper around standard simulation types that causes a standard simulation to run many times, each time modifying multiple values.
It allows users to visualize a great number of simulation possibilities. Each of these possibilities is a test case.
The Generalized Multi Run Configuration dialog box is used to specify the simulation runs. Changes of just one or two values can be made from one simulation to the next, to create as many test cases as needed.
IMPORTANT: All of the changes or actions assigned to a test case ID will take effect in that simulation.
Summary results from each test case run are saved as a table, to be reviewed as a report, or used to theme objects on the GeoPlan.
