Analysis Menu

The Analysis menu contains the following commands:

Compute Center	Opens the Compute Center, which enables you to quickly select the most commonly used options to set up a run.
Scenarios	Opens the Scenario Manager, which lets you create, view, and manage model scenarios.
Alternatives	Opens the Alternatives Manager, which lets you create, view, and manage alternatives.
Calculation Options	Opens the Calculation Options Manager, which lets you create, view, and manage calculation settings for the model.
Statistics	Opens the Statistics Manager, which allows you to perform statistical analysis.
Time Browser	Opens the Time Browser dialog box, which lets you manipulate the currently displayed time step and to animate the drawing pane.
Totalizing Flow Meter	Opens the Totalizing Flow Meters manager, allowing you to create and view totalizing flow meters.
Calculation Summary	Opens the calculation summary report, which reports the details of the calculations performed on your model.
User Notifications	Opens the User Notifications Manager, allowing you to view warnings and errors uncovered by the validation process.
Validate	Runs a diagnostic check on the network data to alert you to possible problems that may be encountered during calculation. This is the manual validation command, and it checks for input data errors. It differs in this respect from the automatic validation that Bentley StormCAD runs when the compute command is initiated, which checks for network connectivity errors as well as many other things beyond what the manual validation checks. Pressing CTRL+F7 also selects this command.
Compute Hydrology	Lets you perform the hydrologic calculations for the current scenario. Pressing CTRL+F8 also selects this command.
Compute	Calculates the network. Before calculating, an automatic validation routine is triggered, which checks the model for network connectivity errors and performs other validation. For more information, see "Calculating Your Model"-529. Pressing F9 also selects this command.
Always Compute Hydrology	Lets you turn hydrology calculations on and off whenever the model is calculated. Turning hydrology computation off improves performance and is recommended when the hydrology input will not change.
