Scenario Template Management

This section outlines the functionality of the Scenario Templates, which serves as a centralized library for managing simulation configurations. It is categorized into three primary types:

  • Default Templates — pre-configured templates that users can edit
  • Custom Templates — user-specific templates
  • Edit Scenario — existing scenarios that can be edited

The template picker opens via the + Add command button in the Command Sequence panel. A Search templates… field at the top of the picker filters all templates in real time; it receives focus automatically when the picker opens.

A Show/Hide descriptions toggle shows or hides the template description text and "When to use this" note for each template. Descriptions are hidden by default.

Default Templates​

Users can quickly create new scenarios by choosing the appropriate template from the template picker. The system supports various temporal scales, allowing for effortless setup of both one-day and weekly scenarios.

Custom Templates​

For highly specific simulations, you can create and save custom templates to your library.

1

Add Template​

Add a default template into the workspace.

2

Edit Parameters​

Edit the simulation parameters to fit your specific requirements.

3

Save as Template​

Click Save as Template in the main bar at the top of the editor area to store the configuration for future use.

The Custom tab in the template picker includes two additional buttons:

  • Export… — saves your custom templates to a .json file.
  • Import… — loads custom templates from a .json file.

Edit Scenario​

You can easily modify an existing scenario directly within the active working folder. This feature is highly efficient for rerunning simulations with minor parameter adjustments or when generating a new scenario closely related to an existing base model.
