Storm Data Dialog Box

The Storm Data dialog box allows you to create, edit, and delete the Storm Data definitions that will make up the Global Storm Data that is applied to the model.

A storm data definition can be created in any of the following ways, both from within the Storm Data dialog box:

  • You can manually create a storm data definition by clicking the New button and selecting one of the methods in the Storm Data dialog.
  • You can import storm data definitions from a text file.
  • You can import a storm data definition from the associated Storm Data Group engineering library. To do so Click the Engineering Libraries button and select Import From Library in the Storm Data dialog.

The dialog box contains a list pane on the left, a tabbed input data area on the upper right, and a graph pane on the lower right, and includes the following controls:



New
Creates a new storm data definition that uses an automatically created label.


Delete
Deletes the currently highlighted storm data definition.


Rename
Lets you rename the currently highlighted storm data definition.


Report
Lets you generate a preformatted report that contains the input data associated with the currently highlighted storm data definition.


Import
Opens a browse dialog, allowing you to select a text file from which to import storm definition data.


Engineering Libraries
Allows you to synchronize in or out from an engineering library, import from or export to an engineering library, or connect to an engineering library.

The fields and controls that appear in the tabbed area depend on which definition type is currently highlighted in the list pane on the left.
