Scenarios can be used to:
Because scenarios are derived from a Base network, they do not appear in the Explorer window as separate entities. Instead, they are saved within the Base network and viewed by opening the Base network and selecting the scenario from the Scenarios toolbar.
To create a scenario:
IMPORTANT: Each scenario is a copy of the Base network, unless you create a scenario as a copy of another scenario. All changes made to a scenario are independent. Scenarios can be made to construct unique situations, which can then be run in a simulation and compared.
When scenarios are copied from the Base network, they maintain data inheritance from the Base. Consequently, any changes made to the Base network are replicated automatically in all associated scenarios, except where an element is changed in a scenario that you created.
Use the tools in the Scenarios toolbar to delete, rename, or manage scenarios.
The Manage scenarios dialog box offers several tools, such as:
