A calculation file (as distinct from the summary of a calculation result) may be filed for archiving, back-up and later retrieval purposes.
Simply click on or open File on the top menu bar and then on Save As in the drop down menu which appears. A prompt will appear inviting a file name to be entered. The file name will automatically be given the file extension .AWC * but the user may choose an alternative extension if desired. Care should though be used if using alternative file name extensions as the program is set to only expect to find calculation files with the extension .AWC * and the user must therefore remember any alternative file extensions that may have been used when later retrieving files. For technical reasons it is also important that prescribed or 'reserved' file extensions such as EXE or BAT are avoided as these could cause problems elsewhere with software unless the user is very familiar with computer software conventions.
* .CWC for Coldwind calculations, .CLW for Cellwind calculations.
