Advanced CommSystem Properties

Upon computation of the CommSystem, a binary cache file is created which hosts all computed information. This file is used for rapid generation of reports and graphics animations. Select one of the following save options:

  • Don't save compute data. Removes the computed data when the scenario is closed. You will need to compute the CommSystem the next time the scenario is opened.
  • Don’t save, but compute on load. Automatically computes the CommSystem when the scenario is loaded.
  • Save compute data. Saves the computed CommSystem file in the Scenario directory when the scenario is saved. Saving the compute file allows reports and graphics to be readily available without having to compute the CommSystem the next time the scenario is opened.

If you select a report before the CommSystem is computed, the CommSystem will automatically compute before creating the report.

Removing Computed Data

Select Clear Computed Data from the CommSystem Menu to remove the CommSystem’s cached computed data and then click Reset animation to remove any CommSystem graphics from the graphics windows.

Computing Data

Select Compute Data from the CommSystem Menu to compute CommSystem data.
