ØClick on the Simulate button to simulate the model.
ØSelect the menu item View>Show Behavior or press the shortcut B key.

Instead of just a diagram you will see:

The behavior over time for each of the dynamic variables is displayed directly on the sketch.  You can work with the sketch, move words and arrows and change equations with behavior showing.  If you position the mouse over a variable and wait, a larger version of the small graph will appear just as a tool tip would.

The graph is the same as the thumbnail graph that appears on the diagram with labels added.  You can also click on a variable to select it into the workbench.

If you make a number of simulations each one will show with a different color on all of the thumbnail graphs.  By loading and unloading toolsets from the control panel you can control what is displayed.  There is an example of doing this later in the chapter.
