PV Curves Dialog

 

To display this dialog, go to the Add Ons ribbon tab and select PV Curves from the PV and QV Curves (PVQV) ribbon group.

The PV Curves dialog contains all of the setup and controls for processing and analyzing the PV curve analysis. The dialog is broken down into several pages:

Setup

Quantities to track

Limit violations

PV output

QV setup

PV results (Launching the analysis is done from this page.)

Plots

 

 

 

There are several buttons at the bottom of the dialog that are available regardless of the selected page.

 

 

Save Auxiliary...

Clicking this button will prompt for a filename in which to save an auxiliary file. PV-specific results and option settings are not saved with the case when it is saved to file. Use this option to store any results and settings that need to be retained for future use.

The PV Curve Tool Settings dialog shown below will be displayed with options for specific data to include in the auxiliary file. Check the box next to a particular data set to save this data in the auxiliary file. Which key field to use when identifying objects in the file can also be specified on this dialog. Click OK on this dialog to finalize saving the file or Cancel to abandon the file save.

Load Auxiliary...

Clicking this button will open a dialog to allow the user to select an auxiliary file to load. This is intended to be used for loading any relevant option settings to be used during the PV analysis. The dialog will be updated according to the option settings loaded from the file.

Launch QV curve tool...

This button will launch the QV Curves tool using the options specified on the QV setup tab. This button is disabled when using Integrated Topology Processing.
