Before a build, it is advised to run a simulation of the build in EBM Control.
This could be done on the machine computer or a workstation.
There are two types of simulations:
S Stta an nd da arrd d S Siim mu ulla attiio on n
The standard simulation will go through the build layer by layer and per-
form all the calculation that will be done during the actual build.
The simulation allows you to verify that the job will be successfully ana-
lysed during the build.

The time approximation only performs the calculations for a limited amount
of layers and extrapolates the values for the remaining layers.
This type of simulation is only intended to quickly give a rough estimate of
the build time for the chosen build. It will n
no ott detect any flaws in the build.
