When all necessary simulation parameters are defined and there are no error messages (LED's are all green or orange), the program will activate the buttons which allow to start the simulation.

You can either use the quick simulation button directly, which will launch the simulation with the current settings, or alternatively, you can go to 'Advanced simulation' where you can perform advanced configurations prior to simulation, or access the tools for multiple simulations.

The simulation process involves several dozens of variables, out of which a subset are stored in monthly or hourly values in the results file, and will be available for generating the tables and graphs in the report and detailed results window.

After completion, the simulation allows for opening the "Results" dialog.

Simulation results for a particular "variant" are stored, with all involved parameters, in a file named as the project's file, with the extension .VCi  (i = 0..9, A..Z).
