The following items must be selected for configuration of an aggregated stage-damage compute: 

  1. Discharge-frequency function and discharge-stage function or just a stage-frequency function 
  2. Hydraulic data set
  3. Structure inventory 
  4. Occupancy types 

To create a new aggregated stage-damage function:

  1. Right-click on Aggregated Stage-Damage Functions under Economics within the Study Tree and select the create new option.
    Aggregated Stage-Damage Functions - Create and Import shortcut menu commands.
  2. Define a useful Name and Description.
  3. Select Computed.
  4. Enter the Analysis Year (e.g., base year is 2024 in the example).
  5. In the Configure and Compute panel, select the the appropriate hydraulic dataset (e.g., Steady-State_RASdata) and structure inventory (e.g., BaseWO). Then for each impact area select the appropriate Frequency and Stage Discharge functions. 
  6. Optionally, select Write Details to CSV to obtain structure-level stage-damage details (selected by default). The CSV file for the created function will be saved to you study directory in a new folder named StuctureStageDamageDetails.
  7. Click Compute Curves.

    Aggregated Stage-Damage Function FDA icon An aggregated stage-damage function is computed for each impact area, damage category, asset category combination.
