To load contingencies from a text file, click the Load button along the bottom of the contingency analysis dialog. A dialog box will be provided for you to specify the file from which to load the contingency records. Specify the file type in the Files of Type dropdown box, and select the appropriate file. If contingency records have already been defined for the case with which you are working, you will be asked if you wish to delete the existing contingencies. Respond affirmatively to delete the existing contingencies before adding the new ones from the specified files. Otherwise, click No, and the contingencies loaded from the file will be appended to the already existing list.
