# SIMULATE

# Iteratively loads and simulates each stand by SurveyID referenced from INPUTS.

## For Example,

## INPUTS.SOURCE “My data source”

## SIMULATE

## Above will simulate all stands in the table “OSM_STANDLIST”.

## To simulate one stand, then include the SurveyID argument after the SIMULATE command.

## SIMULATE “1”

Tips:

1) You do not need to restate setup commands each time you state SIMULATE. Any commands stated before SIMULATE are carried forward in subsequent simulations.

2) SurveyID can be text or numeric. You only need double quotes around the argument ID if it contains spaces.

The behaviour described above also applies when using an OSM data CASHE. If a cashe file path has been assigned in using INPUTS commands, OSM will attempt to load your tree data from the cashe when the SIMULATE command is processed.
