Design Alerts Importing & Exporting
Design Alerts can be saved to a text file to be imported into other model files. This allows the user to quickly load commonly used design alerts into multiple model files.

To export a Design Alert:
-
Fully define a Design Alert for any parameter in the Design Alert Manager. For this example, we are using a velocity design alert.
