Viewing simulation results

The simulations feature requires an Enterprise license.

When you run a simulation workflow, Fabricate creates a simulation result database that includes an overview of the simulation followed by the simulation artifacts.

For more information, go to Exploring the simulation results.

Viewing generated and uploaded files

In the project navigation:

• Artifacts contains files that Fabricate generated. This includes generated unstructured files and exported data files. Note that exported data files are only added to Artifacts when the data export was triggered by a prompt to the Data Agent. If you use the Export option on the table details page, then the file is not added to Artifacts.
• Uploads contains files that you uploaded.

These folders are always displayed separately at the bottom of the tree structure.

To expand or collapse the list, click the folder.

Displaying the contents of a folder

Artifacts and Uploads can contain both individual files and folders.

When you click a folder, the details page displays the folder content.
