Simbrain Preferences

Workspace preferences can be accessed from File > Workspace preferences… These preferences control default behaviors and settings for the Simbrain workspace.

Workspace Preferences

These preferences are accessible through the workspace preferences dialog:

  • Show info dock by default: When enabled, the simulation info panel will be shown by default when opening Simbrain or simulations.

  • Show bottom dock by default: When enabled, the bottom dock (containing Components, Terminal, and Performance tabs) will be shown by default.

  • Bottom dock size: Size of the bottom dock in pixels. This determines how much vertical space the bottom dock occupies when visible.

  • Simulation directory: Default directory for opening and saving workspace simulation files (.zip files). By default, points to the simulations/workspaces folder.

  • Table directory: Default directory for importing and exporting tables stored as CSV files. By default, points to the simulations/tables folder.

  • Import / export directory: Default directory for importing and exporting XML files for individual components.

Network Preferences

Network-specific preferences (such as display colors, default neuron types, etc.) can be accessed from File > Network preferences… See the Network documentation for details.
