Controlbar

The controlbar can be used to control the simulation. It can be used to start, pause and reset the simulation. You may also change the speed of the simulation, as a multiple of real-time.

Play

Click the play button to start the simulation. This will cause the play button to be replaced with a pause button.

Pause

Click the pause button to pause the simulation. Clicking this button again will resume the simulation.

Reset

Click the reset button to reset the model to its initial state (immediately before the simulation was started). The reset button is disabled if the simulation is not runnning. Any entities or components that were added or removed while the simulation is running will be lost after resetting.

• Any entities, components or materials that were added while the simulation was running are automatically removed.
• Any entities, components or materials that were removed while the simulation was running are automatically added back.
• Any entities, components or materials that were modified while the simulation was running are automatically reset back to their state immediately before the simulation was started.

Speed

The dropdown button allows you to change the speed of the simulation, as a multiple of real-time. There are a number of supported options:

• 0.1X speed
• 0.5X speed
• 1.0X speed
• 2.0X speed
• MAX speed
• STEP option

The MAX speed option will run the simulation as fast as possible, limited only by the speed of your hardware. The STEP option can be used to step between frames, which will advance the simulation by one timestep.
