Saving a Project

Step-by-step guide

         1. To save any changes on a currently opened project (i.e. Write Operation), click on the disk button highlighted on the toolbar shown in Figure 1, or select the Save Model option in Model menu shown in Figure 2.

         2. The Select Directory: Write Operation form will be displayed.  The user has the option to select which files are written by selecting the appropriate Save Options button. Use the Create New Folder button to create a new model folder if needed.

        3. For a complete save of all the input files select the Full Write option. 

         4. If you have only made changes to the formatting options in EFDC_Explorer and want those saved, select the Save Profile File Only option.  The profile is always saved for the other save options also.

         5. If the user only has the “*.EFDC” archive file and wants to create a set of files that EFDC needs to run that project, the user must select the Full Write option to create all the input files required.

In order to support some level of compatibility between EE10 and EE8.5 the user can choose 2 format options for saving the model in the Format frame:

• EEMS10 models can only viewed and calculated with EE10 and EFDC+ version 10
• EEMS8.5 models can be viewed by both EE8.5 or EE10 and run with EFDC+ version 8.5
