Terminations
Termination entities provides an alternative way to stop the calculation before the termination time is reached.
Termination entities have a display state, on or off, which controls the display of the entity in the graphics area. The graphic representation depends on the referenced entity defined in the Termination card. For example, *TERMINATION_BODY refers to a component. This component will be shown/hidden when the Termination will be shown/hidden. The display state of Termination entity can be controlled using the icon next to the entity in the Model Browser.
Termination entities also have an active and export state. The active state of a Termination entity controls the display state of the Termination entity and the listing of the Termination entity in the Model Browser and any of its views. The export state of a Termination entity controls whether or not that entity is exported when the custom export option is used. The all export option is not affected by the export state of a Termination entity. The active and export states of Terminations entities can be controlled using the Entity State Browser.
