Setting up a simulation

Last updated 5 months ago

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on setting up a simulation! Whether you’re setting up your very first simulation or need a handy reference for running additional simulations, this guide has got you covered.

To get started, navigate to the homepage where you’ll find the "+ New Simulation" button. Click it to launch our intuitive simulation setup wizard.

Depending on the type of results you’re aiming for, we offer two distinct simulation options. Each option comes with its own step-by-step guide to follow, as well as unique outputs tailored to their respective purposes:

Time Series: This option enables you to simulate your entire period of interest to produce high-resolution time series data. It’s perfect for cases requiring detailed, granular insights across the full dataset.

Statistics: This mode allows you to simulate a sample of days to generate 20-year statistical data efficiently and cost-effectively. It’s ideal for gaining insights into long-term trends without needing to process the full dataset.
