The period to be covered by the simulation is specified in this dialog. You have to specify the simulation start date, the overall number of time steps and the overall time step interval. The overall discrete time steps specified on this page are used to determine the frequency for which output can be obtained from the different modules and to synchronize the coupling between the different modules.
The simulation always starts with time step number 0 and the simulation start date is the historical data and time corresponding to time step 0. The simulation end date is presented for reference.
