Simulating the Vnet


Once your Vnet has been started and connected up you are ready to start simulating. The components will act as if they are connected with each other as they would do in a real system and allow for multi-node systems to be debugged and tested before any actual hardware is involved.


Simulation requires that each instance of Flowcode should be put into a ready to run state.


The instance of Flowcode that created the Vnet is responsible for checking that the other instances are ready and starting the simulation. To start the simulation click the run simulation button and the instance will check that all other instances are ready.


All other instances of Flowcode connected to the Vnet must be placed into a ready state by clicking the run simulation button. If there are instances of Flowcode connected to the Vnet that are not ready then the Vnet creator will report that not all instances are ready and will give you the option of continuing with simulation ignoring the missing instances or canceling to allow instances to become ready.
