Routine Name:
step
Description:
Advances the simulation by one or more steps.
Usage:
step [steps-or-time] -time -verbose -background
steps
number of steps to advance simulation
time
time by which to advance simulation
-time
interpret the first argument as time
-verbose
use verbose mode (display status of simulation
at each step)
-background run simulation as background process, and
return user to GENESIS shell
Example:
step 100
step 5 -v
step 25.4 -t -b
genesis > step
time = 1.000000 ; step = 1
completed 1 steps in 0.000000 cpu seconds
Notes:
sensitive
When run in the background, the simulation is still
to ^C. Generating a ^C interrupt can cause the simulation to
abnormally terminate a step giving erroneous results. To
halt
an simulation in progress, use the stop routine.
Only one simulation can be started at any given time. A
background simulation must already be running. The showjobs
routine will display this status (as the Simulate function).
