Creating a volumetric case

The first step of the Volume Reporting workflow (model > Volumetrics > Create Case) enables you to create a new volumetric case, or activate an existing one to review or modify it.

Volumetric Cases can only be accessed via the Case drop-down list in any of the forms of the Volume Reporting workflow.

Toolbar on the Create Case form

You can copy, rename, or delete your existing cases via the toolbar on this form.

Copies the currently selected case in the drop-down list (i.e. the active case).
Opens the Rename dialog, where a new name can be given to the active case.
Deletes the active case.
Important   Volumetrics cases can be deleted using the Delete option on the Create Case form. Please note that if you select the checkbox 'Delete associated volumetric case properties', the entire case will be deleted, including the output grid properties.

To create a new volumetric case

  1. On the Create Case form, select Create new from the Case drop-down list.
  2. Type in a name in the adjacent field.
  3. Click Apply to create the case and keep the form open, or click OK to create the case and proceed to the Assign Data step.

Once you have gone through the complete Volume Reporting workflow, your volumetric case folder will be available in the JewelExplorer, (3D Grids > Your 3D Grid > Properties > Your Volumetrics Case).

Once you complete the workflow, your volumetric case folder will be available in the JewelExplorer.    click to enlarge
