Simulation Timing?

[myriad360]

Should be a simple solution, but it has been a few years since I have MultiSim-ed.  I want to dictate the speed in which the simulation runs.  Basically, in the simulation, it take about 2 mintues to simulate about 1 second of real life action that will occur (the "Trans: 1.000 s" at the bottom of the window).  I basically would like to change this to run about real time, and have found no documentation.  I have been wondering this since college!  So you gurus probably know, but please enlighten me!  I would also like to know of a good doc source so I can solve these sorts of problems on my own.

Thanks a bunch!

It is not going to be possible to achieve real time simulation, since a lot of calculus and mathematics are going-on on the background. However, you can try to manipulate simulation speed by changing the timestep of the simulation. There are two places you can try:

Simulate >> Interactive Simulation Settings.. and check the section for timestep.

Simulate >> Digital Simulation Settings.

This worked great.  I actually got it to run pretty close to real time, although I might be losing some math processes.  Oh well, seems to sim correctly.

Thanks again.
