Links Window

The Links Window displays the output from a range of tools.

It arranges content into types, indicated by the tab headers:

Charts (*.prf)

Tables (*.csv)

Charts (*.prf): Charts display time series, profile and flow plot information at one or multiple points/sections.

Left clicking on a time series or flow plot will navigate to that particular timestep (eg timestep 1.5hrs in the figure below).

As the mouse is moved around the chart, the X/Y axis values are displayed in the title bar of the links window.
