Trying to simulate baffle step in Akabak

Yes, multiple times actually but I think it's not really geared toward a first-time user unfortunately. Seems like a number of steps are glossed over, and it's not completely comprehensive as far as what can go wrong.
What you want does not yet exist, to get anywhere with this program does require to RTM and study the demo programs. It can be frustrating but the manual is very comprehensive just not paint by numbers unfortunately. ABEC and AKABAK are still pretty similar underneath so most of the information from the threads on ABEC are still useful.
