Some of the following general functions can be made easy by editing the database. These methods are effective when you have many items that take a lot of time to define individually through the interface.
Each model has five database files that are created when a Check Model or analysis is performed (Analysis Analysis
Check Model and Analysis
Analysis
Run Simulation). If you translated the .dbf format into a Microsoft Access database format, these files will appear as five tables in the filename.mdb file. If you translated the .dbf format into text files, these files will appear as five .csv files in the .mod folder. The names and information contained in these files is described in the following table.
