To initiate an Apache simulation in a Parametric analysis requires firstly the creation of an Apache input file (APR). This input files contains all the model data necessary for simulations to be run at a later time. The Apache input files can be created within the VE’s ApacheSim view as illustrated below.
1. Access the Apache view.
2. Click on “ApacheSim (Dynamic Simulation)” to load the simulation dialogue.
3. To create the APR file, click on “Add to Queue”. This will load a prompt stating that the APR file has been created and saved in the root directory of the model.
