  1. Click the Analysis menu and select Calculation Options.
  2. In the Calculation Options manager, click the New button to create a new calculation option definition.
  3. Change the Calculation Type to Age, Constituent & Trace.
  4. Specify the Calculation Times and tolerances for the Age, Constituent and Trace Analysis. Optionally, specify Hydraulics, Adjustments, and/or Calculation Flag settings.
  5. Close the Calculation Options dialog.
  6. Set up the Age, Constituent and Trace alternatives associated to this scenario like described for the calculation types Age, Constituent and Trace.
  7. Click the Compute button.
Note: Water quality analysis can only be performed for extended period simulations.
