Stepping a component multiple times

A component can be stepped multiple times during a simulation to allow you to preview a component’s behavior with different property settings.

StepsTo step through a component multiple times

  1. Select the component.

  2. Modify the transformation rules or property settings.

  3. Initialize the component.

  4. Step the component.

  5. Return to step 2.

When stepping the component repetitively, the same set of records at the IN-port are reprocessed in each step and forwarded to the output port without increasing the number of the record set at the OUT-port. For many components, the stepping can be done from inside the component window or by using the pop-up menu from the desktop.
