Interface Improvements for xStream 2

There were many improvements made to the interface in xStream 2. These changes primarily involve consolidating inputs with the new Analysis Setup window, and updating the functionality of databases, which have been renamed as libraries.

Analysis Setup Sources in xStream 1

• Simulation Mode: The simulation mode settings were moved to the Simulation Mode/Duration panel in the Transient Control group.

• AFT Arrow Steady Solution Control: The Steady Solution Control parameters have primarily moved to the AFT Arrow Steady Solution Control group. The Special Controls have moved to the Advanced Parameters panel under the Miscellaneous group.

• MOC Steady Solution: The MOC Steady Solution panel was renamed to the Transient Solver Initialization panel and moved to the Transient Control group.

• Sectioning: The Sectioning panel has been renamed to the Pipe Sectioning and Output panel in the Pipe Sectioning and Output group.

• MOC Transient: The Start/stop time inputs from this panel were moved to the Simulation Mode/Duration panel. The options to save pipe stations were moved to the Pipe Sectioning and Output panel.

• List Undefined Objects: The undefined objects list has been moved to the Pipes and Junctions group. The undefined objects list can also still be viewed next to the Workspace by opening it from the View menu.

• Add-on Modules Activation: The activation window for add-on modules has moved to the Modules panel

• Pulsation (PFA module only): Settings have moved to the Pulsation Setup group.

Database Improvements

• Databases have been renamed as libraries throughout the interface to better reflect their functionality

• Connecting, creating, and transferring content between libraries can all be done from the Library Browser, rather than switching between tabs in the Database Manager to do this

• Viewing the contents of libraries can also be done directly in the Library Browser, rather than opening a separate Browse Database Content window

• Windows to edit and add components to libraries can all be accessed directly from the Library Manager rather than having to navigate solely through the Library menu
