Question
Why do I not get to see my last simulation when I reopen a saved project?
Answer
This used to be an issue in earlier versions of WEST, but it is no longer the case since Release 2022.
You can now store the results of a simulation that are displayed on plots, using the Save Plot Snapshots of the Dashboard menu; and reload them using the Load Plot Snapshots. What gets saved is a special image of the plots (a snapshot) that once reloaded, has a limited functionality compared to regular plots – e.g. you cannot zoom in/out, reset the axes, etc. As soon as you launch a new simulation, the snapshot will turn back into a regular plot - see Fig. 1
