Whittle 4D Interface

Overview

The Vulcan 4D interface was designed for 4D Rev 3.01 and not all functions work with 4D Rev 3.02. It is however possible to export and import 4D files using the techniques described in the Exporting to Four D section of this appendix.

You can use the following Vulcan options with 4D Rev 3.02, provided you understand their limitations.

• Block > Whittle 4D > Export Model

  Must use the method described in the Exporting to Four D section of this appendix.

• Block > Whittle 4D > Edit Whittle Parameters

  Must load parameter file into FDED to convert to Rev 3.02 as described in the Exporting to Four D section of this appendix.

• Block > Whittle 4D > Import Results

  Work around required if you have changed the model framework.

You are not able to use the following Vulcan options with 4D Rev 3.02:

• Block > Whittle 4D > Re-Block
• Block > Whittle 4D > Create Arcs
• Block > Whittle 4D > Optimise
• Block > Whittle 4D > Print Blocks
• Block > Whittle 4D > Analyse Results
• Block > Whittle 4D > Perform Run
