Datafile Loading to the Toolbox

Supported File Types

The Sensitivity Analysis Toolbox can handle ASCII delimited files, including but not limited to (CSV , TXT , TSV , DAT , ASC , SAV,...)

Ensure that the file contains both the inputs and outputs in a single file for analysis.

Step 1: Open the Loading Interface

After launching the Toolbox. Navigate to the Workflow section on the left panel, and click on Load Data file.

Step 2: Browse for Your Data File

Click the Browse button to find the desired data file on your computer.

Step 3: Select the Data File

In the file dialog that appears, navigate to the folder where your data file is located. Select the file you want to load, and click Open.

Step 4: Verify File Path

Check that the correct file path is displayed in the interface. You can click Show File to confirm the details of the selected file.

Step 5: Preview Data Content

After the file is loaded, you will see a preview of its contents. Review the content to ensure everything is correct. Once verified, you can close this preview window.

Step 6: Select the Delimiter

In the options panel, select the appropriate delimiter for your data file (e.g., Comma, Semicolon, Tab, or Space). Ensure this matches the format of your data.

Step 7: Specify Header Row

Enter the line number that contains the variable names in the Header Row field. If your data starts with variable headers at the first row, you would typically enter 0.

Note: The line counting starts from zero and excludes any empty lines. For example, if the line number in the text file that has the header is 34, and there is 1 empty line in between, then you should enter 32 here.

Step 8: Data Starts From Row

Input the row number where your actual data begins in the Data Starts From Row field. This is typically the row immediately following the header row you specified. Note: If the data starts right after the header column, you should keep this as 0.

Step 9: Display Data

Click the Display button display your dataset in the interface. This will show a preview of the data in the right panel.

Step 10: Review Data and Summary

Check the data displayed on the right side to ensure it matches your expectations. The summary section on the left pane will indicate the number of rows and columns in your dataset. . Note: This panel only shows the data, and any edits made directly in the table will not affect the original data file or the data loaded into the toolbox.

Step 11: Load Data

Once you have reviewed the dataset and ensured everything is correct, click the Load Data button at the bottom of the options panel. This will import your data into the Sensitivity Analysis Toolbox.

Step 12: Confirmation Message

Upon successful loading, a confirmation message will appear indicating that the dataset was loaded successfully. Click OK to close the message.

Step 13: Check Log for Confirmation

After loading the data, check the Log section at the bottom of the interface for a confirmation message that indicates the dataset has been loaded successfully. This message will verify that your data is ready for analysis.
