Calculation Summary

The calculation summary gathers useful information related to the state of the calculation (e.g. success/failure), status messages for elements (e.g. pump on/off, tank full/empty), and the system flow results (e.g. flow demanded, flow stored).

The following controls are available in the Calculation Summary dialog box:

Copy - Copies the calculation summary to the Windows clipboard.
Report - Opens the Calculation Summary report.
Graph - Opens the Calculation Summary Graph.
Help - Opens the online help for this dialog.
Show this dialog after Compute - When this box is checked, the Calculation Summary will open automatically after every Compute operation, unchecking it will suppress this behavior.

The tabs below the time step table contain the following information:

Information Tab: This tab displays any element messages for the currently selected time step.
Status Messages Tab: This tab displays any status messages for the currently selected time step.
Trials Tab: This tab displays the relative flow change for each of the trials for the currently selected time step.
Run Statistics Tab: This tab displays calculation statistics such as the time the calculation was completed, how long the calculation took to load and run, and the number of time steps, links, and nodes that were calculated.

Note: The stats displayed under this tab pertain only to Steady State and EPS runs. For fire flow and flushing analysis the run times reported do not include the times for all the nodes to run, just the base Steady State run.
