Let us now carry out a simulation (calculation) for the displayed
device. A simulation produces and displays an evolving sequence of
magnetic states and output curves of the device based on design
specifications. Press the Run
button near the top of the SVB window. The calculation starts after a
few moments (this fact will be indicated on the status
bar at the bottom of the SVB window) and output curve windows are
launched. Notice the selective modification of various areas of the
window during a simulation -- in particular, the Run
button is now labeled as “Cancel Job” so that pressing it again
terminates the calculation. Pressing the Pause
button suspends the calculation, and pressing it yet again continues the
calculation. Wait for the calculation to end (this will be indicated in
the status bar and the Run
button will revert back to its correct label). Now move
and re-size the curve windows so that your screen appears roughly
as shown in Fig. 3.

By default the SVB
window is always displayed on top of other windows. You can change this
behavior in the dialog box displayed by selecting the ToolsŕOptions
menu.
