Description
The option to re-simulate a model in OMEdit is somewhat hidden at the moment. The only way I could find was to right-click on the model name in the variable browser and choosing re-simulate, which is probably not the obvious place a user would look. In fact, all entries in the Simulation-menu and all buttons in the toolbar for simulation are disabled in the plot view, making it look like it's not possible to re-simulate.
I think it would make sense to keep the normal simulate button and meny entry enabled while in the plot view, and do a re-simulation instead of a normal simulation in that case. There might be some issues if the user leaves the plot view, changes the model, and then returns to plot view though, since doing a re-simulation without rebuilding the model might be confusing in that case. So maybe adding a dedicated re-simulate button and menu entry would be better?
It might also be a good idea to make it possible for the user to change the simulation setup, since it doesn't seem possible at the moment to change e.g. simulation time. I'm not sure if all the options in the normal simulation setup window are applicable without rebuilding the simulation though, so maybe some options need to be disabled while in plot view.
The first part of this ticket i.e make re-simulation easier to find is fixed in r22866.
The second part is duplicate of #2596.
