Figure 2.6.1: The Generating… page

The Generating… page will keep the user informed on how far the wizard has got with generating the design day(s) and producing the report(s). There are three distinct sections during this process:

  • Creating the design day(s) in the TBD file – The wizard will create the design day(s) using the data the user has entered.

  • Simulating the TBD file – The wizard will then simulate the design day(s) in the TBD file. This section will often be the longest to complete.

  • Creating the report(s) – Once the design day(s) have been simulated, report(s) will be produced based off the results of each simulation.

During the generation, the wizard will update both the progress bar and text above the progress bar to indicate how far it has progressed. While the wizard is generating the design day(s) and producing the reports you will not be able to move away from this page. Once the generation process is finished, and the report(s) have been created, the wizard will automatically move on to the next page.
