How to setup a flooding overlay with iterations

This section describes a technical aspect, and is mainly for advanced users.

This how-to explains setting up a project such that it is iterated, with each iteration performing a part of the total simulation time of a Flooding Overlay. An indicator excel is used to progress the partial start and end time of the simulation. Combo Overlays of Flooding Overlay results, configured with the previous option, serve as in and output for the Flooding Overlay. Relevant results are captured using an Iteration Overlay.

How to setup a flooding overlay with iterations:

1. Setup the Flooding Overlay
2. Add the Combo Overlays
3. Setup the Iteration Overlay
4. Add the Iteration Indicator
