General Program Operation

Upon starting EFDC_Explorer the user will be presented with the form shown below. This form is basically divided into three parts. At the top of the form, the main Toolbar is shown providing quick access to many of the primary EFDC_Explorer features and actions. Beneath this is some general information about the location of the model. The main section of the form presents the pre- and post-processor inputs and options.

The number and function of the tabs shown along the left column of the form are automatically updated based on the user selected computational options. The operation and further instructions for each of these groupings will be described in the following sections.
