While the simulation is running, SAM displays a status window that shows the progress of the simulation.

After the simulation is complete, the window displays any simulation errors or warnings. In some cases, the warnings give you information to help you adjust inputs to correct a problem with the case. In other cases, they describe calculation errors or other problems. You can click Save Log to save the warning messages to a text file.

Note. If you encounter warnings or errors that you do not understand or cannot solve, contact SAM Support with as much information about the case as you can provide, including the performance and financial model, description of the steps that led to the warning, and the exact text of the warning or error message (sending screenshots is always helpful).

Notices

The Notices tab displays information about the simulation results:

•An error indicates that the simulation failed. This might be caused by an invalid value for an input variable or combination of variables.

•A warning or notice indicates that the simulation finished, but that there may be a problem with one or more of the input variables. A notice is for less severe problem than a warning.
