The operations performed in the SimLab session will be recorded in the session script (*.xml) by default and stored in the below session folder:

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Temp\SimLab\SimLab_2022\Temp\session

If SimLab crashed unexpectedly, a pop-up dialog will open the next time you launch the application and offer the following recovery options:

  • Recreate database Recreate the operations performed before the crash. In the background, SimLab will execute the session script (*.xml) from the session folder.
  • Open last saved database Open the last saved database before the crash. This option will only be available if the “Auto save” option is turned ON via File > Preferences > General.
