Manage a Trend

Creating a Trend

On the Model Library, on the Tools tab, drag a Trend onto the Canvas to automatically create a new Trend.

After you create the Trend, it appears in the Simulation Manager as Trend1 if it is the first Trend to be added to the simulation.

Opening a Trend

On the Canvas, double-click the Trend to view it.

Alternatively, in the Simulation Manager, right-click the Trend, and then select View.

Opening the configuration area for a Trend

On the Canvas or the Simulation Manager, right-click the Trend, and then select Full Properties. The Trend appears with an expanded configuration area.

Alternatively, open the Trend and select Expand the configuration section at the lower right corner of the Trend to expand the configuration area.

Copying and pasting a Trend

In the Simulation Manager, right-click the Trend and then select Copy. Right-click the Main flowsheet for your simulation and then select Paste.

Alternatively, on the Canvas, right-click the Trend and then select Copy. Right-click the Canvas and then select Paste. This creates a new Trend on the Canvas and in the Simulation Manager, not another instance of the copied Trend on the Canvas.

Renaming a Trend

In the Simulation Manager, select the Trend's name, enter a new name, and press Enter.

Alternatively, on the Canvas, double-click the name of the Trend, enter a new name, and then press Enter.

Creating another instance of an existing Trend on the Canvas

Drag the Trend from the Simulation Manager onto the Canvas.

Deleting a Trend

In the Simulation Manager, right-click the Trend, and then select Delete.

Alternatively, on the Canvas, right-click the Trend, and then select Delete. Select Delete All to delete the corresponding Trend and all of its instances on the Canvas.

Deleting an instance of a Trend from the Canvas

On the Canvas, right-click the Trend, and then select Delete. Select Just This to delete only this instance of the Trend on the Canvas. The Trend still exists in the Simulation Manager and all the other instances of the Trend on the Canvas remain unchanged.
