Options dialog - Service Level Threshold and Duration page

This page allows you to set default values for use when viewing service level reports.

These values are used to populate the Grid Report (Service Level / Service Level Summary) dialog, which is displayed by selecting Results | Grid reports and then either Service level or Service level summary.

The page is displayed by choosing Tools | Options and selecting the Service Level Threshold and Duration tab.

Data Field Description

Min Pressure Limit

The target minimum pressure. If the pressure falls below this target for a period longer than the Duration, a failure is reported.

Duration (Min Pressure)

The duration (cumulative over the simulation) for which the pressure must fail to reach the minimum threshold,  before a failure is reported.

Max Pressure Limit

The maximum allowable pressure. If the pressure rises above this limit for a period longer than the Duration, a failure is reported.

Duration (Max Pressure)

The duration (cumulative over the simulation) for which the pressure must exceed the limit, before a failure is reported.

Demand Reduction (%)

The allowable percentage reduction in demand when comparing against a base simulation (due to pressure related demand). If demand reduction falls below this target, a failure is reported.

Max Decrease in Lower Threshold (%)

The allowable percentage decrease in lower pressure threshold when comparing against a base simulation. If decrease in lower threshold falls below this target, a failure is reported.

Lower pressure threshold is the lowest pressure that was experienced for the specified (continuous) Duration.

Duration (Lower Threshold)

The duration to be used when calculating lower pressure threshold for a simulation.

 

Max Increase in Upper Threshold (%)

The allowable percentage increase in upper pressure threshold when comparing against a base simulation. If increase in upper threshold exceeds this target, a failure is reported.

Upper pressure threshold is the highest pressure that was exceeded for the specified (continuous) Duration.

Duration (Upper Threshold)

The duration to be used when calculating upper pressure threshold for a simulation.
