What is the best way to run and view my simulation?
For repeated runs of the same scenario where it is not necessary to interact with or watch the behaviour of the occupants Batch mode should be used. This results in the shortest run times. Prior to using the Batch mode however it is advisable to visually examine the events of a scenario using the 2-D graphical interface to ensure that the occupant movement and the connectivity of the geometry are satisfactory. The 2-D graphical interface is particularly useful for examining the behaviour of the occupants. For relatively small cases, which are computationally inexpensive, this representation can be enhanced by using the Person Shape option. For larger cases this should be switched off to minimise the computational costs. For presentation purposes, the 2-D view should be used in order to represent specific behavioural activities of the occupant population. For users with Level 2 software, this can be enhanced through the use of the 3-D virtual reality interface which enables a degree of
