Post-Processing - Form Operations

Most of the post-processing visualization features of EFDC_Explorer are located in the ViewPlan and ViewSilce functions, which are discussed in ViewPlan. However, there a several other features for post-processing model runs that are available from the main form. The post-processing functions are located in the Model Analysis tab in the main form. Three tabs provide access to these features (Figure 1), as discussed below.

At the top left of the form is the Output File Loading Options frame. This is used to show whether or not model results have been loaded for analysis. The Reload checkbox forces EFDC_Explorer to reload the output files even if the files have already been loaded. This is necessary at times when an error occurs or the user is reviewing the progress of a run (see EFDCPlus Runtime Pause/Resume).
The user can review a run in process by:

  • Pausing the EFDC execution (pressing any key within EFDC_DSI will pause the execution).
  • Checking the Reload checkbox.
  • Using the ViewPlan or ViewSlice review the model progress.
  • Restart the model, if desired, by pressing any other key than that which stopped it. Or the user may completely end the model run and make adjustments, save and re-run.
  • Repeat as needed.
