Included within the framework of ResSim is HEC-DSSVue, a tool that allows you to access data stored in HEC-DSS database files.

When HEC-DSSVue is selected from the Tools menu ("Figure: Accessing HEC-DSSVue from the Tools Menu") within the Simulation Module, the current "simulation.dss" file is opened.

In the Main Window of HEC-DSSVue, a listing of pathnames that are contained in the simulation.dss file are provided, as shown in "Figure: HEC-DSSVue Main Window Showing Pathname Listing".

A screened listing of pathnames can be obtained by selecting a pathname part from the lists in the Search by Parts section of the window. For example, if you want a listing of "observed" records, you can select OBS from the F-part list, as shown in "Figure: Screened Pathname Listing Showing Observed (OBS) Records". To obtain an unscreened listing of pathnames, select the "blank" area at the top of the list.

To select records to be plotted, tabulated, or edited, highlight the desired pathnames and click on Select. After one or more records are selected, the icons for the graph and table become active. Now, you can click on either icon to generate a plot ("Figure: Example Plot Using HEC-DSSVue") or tabulated values ("Figure: Example Plot Using HEC-DSSVue") of the selected records.
