Drainage and Utilities CONNECT Edition Help

Compute Toolbar

The Compute toolbar contains the following buttons:

Setting Description


Compute Center
Opens the Compute Center, which enables you to quickly select the most commonly used options to set up a run.


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 Drainage and Utilities 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.


Compute Hydrology
Performs hydrology calculations.


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.


Calculation Summary
Opens the calculation summary report, which reports the details of the calculations performed on your model.


Time Browser
Opens the Time Browser manager, allowing you to manipulate the currently displayed time step and to animate the drawing pane.


User Notifications
Opens the User Notifications Manager, allowing you to view warnings and errors uncovered by the validation process. This button does not appear in the toolbar by default, but can be added. .
