2. Make sure that the General tab is selected. Set the Time unit to Days and the End time to 365.
3. In order to get output for months only, select the “Produce specified output only” from the Output options.

Running a simulation

1. Windows that are useful for running simulations and inspecting results can be opened by clicking the Simulation button on the toolbar.
2. Click the button on the toolbar to start the simulation.
3. When the simulation has finished, the Results window should list the blocks that you selected to be simulation outputs above. Select which outputs to display in the Charts window by selecting them in the Results window.
