        Sets a flag for profiling of the simulation. When true this function generates a CSV file in the model's temporary directory when the simulation is run. The file contains the simulation's flag information for all the simulation blocks. Can use bdeGetModelTempDir to find the temporary directory where the information is stored.
      - bdeSetSimulationResultsEnabled
        Sets the simulation to have results enabled.
      - bdeSetSimulationResultsFile

        Takes model and timeTolerance and sets the time tolerance property.
      - bdeSetTimeToleranceZeroCrossing
        Takes model and timeTolerance and sets the time tolerance of zero crossing.
      - bdeSetZeroCrossingThreshold
        Takes model and threshold and sets the zero crossing threshold property. When zero crossing is detected on a function e.g. F, F changes the sign and becomes almost zero. When the absolute value becomes greater than the threshold, the zero-crossing search resumes. This is used to handle functions that get stuck on zero.
