4.2.4.5. Adding new sequential steps to the Method
• The Add button of the toolbar sets the graph into “addition” mode.
When the graph is set to “addition” mode, new steps can be easily
appended to the method. To add a step, click in the blank area of the
flow evolution graph. Each click will create a new step (and its
corresponding step block) with the following information:
Check the graph’s scale before adding steps. To adjust the scale use
the buttons.
• Expected start flow: Same as the last steps expected end flow. (The
first step in a method will be added as a constant rate whose flow rate is
determined by the cursor’s position when created).
• Expected end flow: Corresponding to the cursor’s vertical position
when the click was made.
• Duration: Corresponding to the cursor’s horizontal position when the
click was made.
• Step linkage property: By default, all new steps added are considered
as linked to the previous one.
When a new step is added the method is automatically recalculated so that
its overall information is updated within the status bar (see 4.2.4.3. ).
