The simulation control panel for Web UI allows you to control a simulation directly from the Web UI using the Start, Pause/Resume, Step Into, Step Over, and Terminate buttons when no simulation window is used. These four buttons have the same functionality as those of the buttons on the simulation toolbar. You can move the toolbar on the browser as desired. The following figure shows the web UI Mockup of the Calculator sample model

The Add Control Panel option in the Specification window of the Simulation Configuration allows you to enable these buttons on the Web UI.
