This table does not contain any data, it can be opened to add data.

Missing Data

This table does not contain any data, however, a calculation attempt failed because data in this table is needed.

Locked Empty

This table does not contain any data, it cannot be opened (unless a secondary database is defined, see above).

Locked Empty (User)

This table does not contain any data because the user selected a model option instructing the program to ignore the input data present this table is based on. It cannot be opened (unless a secondary database is defined, see above).

Data

This table does contain data, however, that data has not yet been fully checked (tested). The table can be opened to add, modify and/or check the data.

Untested Data

This table does contain data, however, a calculation attempt failed because this data has not been tested. The data in this table can be edited.

Data with Warnings/Errors

This table does contain data, however, during testing or during the calculation it was determined that the data has errors. Alternatively, the data is technically correct, but the program warns that it will most likely lead to unrealistic results. See the warning table for more information. This table is editable.

Tested Data

This table does contain data that has passed all pre-calculation tests. Data in this table can be edited, however, its status will be changed to 'Data' in that case.

A successfully tested table does not mean its data is free of errors! Only during calculations any relations between data in different tables are evaluated, and data mismatch errors are detected only then.

Locked Data

This table does contain data, it can only be read.

Locked Data, with warnings

This table does contain data, it can only be read. At least one value of that table data exceeded a given limitation. See the warning table for more information.

Set-backed Data, with warnings

Calculate & Lock

Process this design function. If the design function before it can be processed automatically, that will be processed as well.

The icon is animated while calculations are in progress. It is disabled / greyed out after successful processing. After successful processing all data tables are locked, their data cannot be modified any more.

Stop this function

Only visible while processing a design function. If clicked, a small window will appear to give the user the choice between stopping (output data of last iteration is retained, may not end processing immediately), aborting (output data is lost, ends processing instantly) or cancelling this action (continue processing).

Set back up to
this function

Normally disabled / greyed out until the design function has been processed successfully. Clicking it will clear all output data and unlock all data tables, making changes to their data possible again.

All processed design functions following the current function will be set back as well!

Unlock this function

Only available in design functions 5 ("Pipeline Behaviour") and 6.2 ("Cross-Section Behaviour"). Disabled / greyed out until the design function has been processed successfully. Clicking it will leave the output data intact and unlock all input tables, making changes to their data possible again.

All processed design functions following the current function will be set back!
