The Program

---

File Menu

The file menu lets your load and save a range of files. You can load a sample project from the files directory

---

Edit Project Box

Edit Project Menu can be loaded from File/Edit Project File and it allows you to Edit/Update or compose new projects from existing geo/cfg,dis, & bch files

---

Displacement Channel Load Menu

Every time you load a project file you can select how many channels you would like to load, as well as the duration and delta time

---

Node Properties

Once the project is loaded, it opens the file in sensor mode, which provides you with a range of options

---

Quad View

Once you load the project file and the record information channels you are given an option of animation mode which brings up the quad view

---

Animation Controls

These controls are only visible during the animation mode, and they let you play around with the earthquake simulation

---

Side Menu & Avi Save

Side bar has many neat features like the rotation pad, render options, view selection, bmp save and avi save. The rotation pad which works best in sensor mode lets you quickly view the building from any angle. The view combo box lets you select which view you'd like to save into bmp or avi. In Animation Mode, the avi option is available, and you can save the entire earthquake simulation or a defined range. You can also select frames per second as well as keyframe. Microsoft Video 1 is the ideal codec for saving this type of animation.

Displacement Plots

Provided that the dis file has been loaded, you can preview the displacement plots for all or a range of channels using the Graph Display
