Running a simulation workflow

Every simulation workflow shares the following parameters:

• Run mode
• Scenario
• Database name
• Model selection

The workflow also includes simulation-specific parameters to adjust the time range and data volume for the prehistoric data and the simulation artifacts.

Selecting the run mode

From the Run mode dropdown list, select the run mode to use for the next run.

Preview mode

Preview mode provides a less expensive overview of the simulation results.

It uses less expensive models, and does not generate any prehistoric data.

Preview mode generates a limited number of records for each content platform.

Complete mode

Complete mode generates the complete timeline, prehistoric data, and simulation artifacts.

Scenario

The Scenario text area displays the full text of the scenario prompt.

Before you run the simulation, you can make adjustments to the scenario.

Database name

In the Database name field, provide the name to use for the results entry in the project navigation.

If you do not provide a name, then Fabricate sets the database name to the workflow name with the run date and time. For example:

Feature Planning Day Simulation 2026-10-01 15:20:09

Model selection

For each simulation run, you can select the models to use to generate the timeline and to generate the prehistoric data and the simulation artifacts.
