While the model is running, click the Interrupt button to stop the run. Once the model has finished running the Interrupt and Start Run buttons will be replaced by a Run Successful - Click to Continue button, and the message at the bottom of the screen will state "The Model was completed successfully".

The run file is still not yet saved, though the results can be viewed using the "Working file" scenario until starting a new session of IFs. Follow the directions in File Management to save the run file.

Batch Run

To run multiple saved scenarios in one process use the Batch Run option. From the Main Menu choose Scenario Analysis and click Batch Run. A screen with a list of scenario folders saved in the "Scenario" folder of IFs on the current device will appear. Click on the folder that houses the scenarios desired to run. Then click Select to run the scenarios. Click Continue to cancel the run and return the Main Menu.

The screen will begin to appear as it is loading. After a few to several minutes a new screen with a count on what scenario has run and what year of run within that scenario will be shown. Depending on the size and number of scenarios this could take 30 minute or longer. A message will appear saying the runs were successful once complete, click Continue. The scenarios ran using Batch Run will be automatically saved as run files and available to pull results from.
