The Standard Simulation Control tab allows you to set the same things that can be set from the Main Toolbar.
Run Name lets you name the run you are about to make. After the simulation is completed, a dataset with this name and extension .vdf will be created. You don't have to add the extension; Vensim adds .vdf automatically. The default run name is Current. You can type in the name you want, or click on the Run Name… button to get a File Selection dialog. The Run Name control is common to all the Simulation Control tabs.
Reload Run (Gaming Only), if checked, lets you reload a run to continue playing a game that was previously suspended. This option only has an impact if you close the dialog by pressing the Game button. This option will only work if the game you are trying to reload is from the current model. If you have made any changes to the model, you will not be able to reload the game.
Integration Technique The integration technique is the method that Vensim uses to advance a model in time.
Comment for run is any comment you might like to make for that particular run. It will be recorded in the run and reported in the error log (Window>Error History) when you load the run.
Compress Run enables internal ZIP compression of a run. This is useful if you are running a model for a long time or saving to a slow hard drive/network. If performance is the priority, make sure this box is not ticked.
