Live Recalculation

Manual Analyze (F5) is the default in every window. Enable Live recalculation in the Analysis toolbar or Edit menu to solve 750 ms after the last completed engineering edit, including undo/redo. Unapplied inspector/table drafts, selection and unit changes do not schedule new solves. Enabling it with an unsolved nonempty model schedules that model; a valid snapshot is not rerun. Live mode waits while a dialog, drawing mode, pointer gesture or modified numeric editor is active. A completed automatic snapshot also waits before refreshing the canvas; intervening engineering edits discard that deferred snapshot.

Automatic solves use the same isolated worker and cloned model as manual analysis. An edit during an automatic solve cancels it and queues the latest revision after cleanup and debounce. A manual solve is allowed to finish, but its outdated reply is rejected before the queued solve starts. Pending, current, failed and cancelled states are shown in Results. Automatic failures populate Model Findings without opening a warning popup or retrying until another edit.

The stop button cancels a pending or running solve and waits for a new edit or explicit Analyze. Switching live mode off cancels an automatic solve and clears its queue; it leaves a manual solve running. Closing clears pending work before the normal worker cleanup and unsaved-change prompt. Live mode is a per-window editing preference and is not stored in project files. For large models, leave it off and use Analyze when ready.
