Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis - Calculation Options Dialog

To start an Uncertainty and Sensitivity analysis go to the Simulation screen and click on the Optimisation + UA/SA tab. From there calculations can be updated using the Update toolbar icon in the usual way. The data on the Calculation Options dialog is used to provide options to control the analysis as well as outputs to help you to understand the progress being made as the calculations proceed.

Note: It is necessary to run the base simulation with monthly/annual outputs before opening the optimisation tab. The Uncertainty and Sensitivity analysis simulations will all be run using the base calculation and model options. So, the simulation period and all other options used in the optimisation is the same as that defined on the Simulation calculation options dialog.

There are 2 tabs on the Dialog:

 

 

A sample uncertainty analysis result is shown within the Calculation Options dialog. Once the analysis has completed, detailed Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis results are best visualised on the Optimisation + UA/SA Tab on the Simulation Screen.

 

You can learn about the results generated on the graph on this dialog and other results during the Uncertainty and Sensitivity analysis from the Uncertainty and Sensitivity Results pages.
