The Simul8 Assistant uses expert system technology to help you get your simulation
right. It monitors your simulation building and the way you are using your simulation to
provide advice where appropriate.
Using the Simul8 Assistant
The Simul8 Assistant looks like a speech bubble icon on the quick access menu on the top-left
of the Simul8 tool bar. When there are suggestions available, a red dot will appear
on the icon.

The Simulation Assistant Dialog
The summary provides a list of the advice given by the Simul8 Assistant. Clicking on
each line in turn will provide more information in the Detail section.
The advice can be filtered using the box on the right. This means that you can search
for terms and even object names, to get a better idea of what may be happening in
your simulation.
Once you have read some advice, you might decide it is not relevant to the way you
use the simulation. In this case you can ask the assistant not to give you that
advice again. You can switch off a particular category of advice completely or just
for this particular case, using the check boxes at the bottom. You can also turn the
assistant off all together. This can also be done by navigating to:
- Choose .
- Check the box for No Support.
The Reset All button in the assistant dialog can be used to
switch back on all categories of advice.
