The Depth-Area-Duration (DAD) tool uses the set of TINs contained in a Map Window and performs an analysis of the data. The TINs selected should all have the same time duration without containing missing time spans. HEC-MetVue currently outputs the data to the output window in a format that can easily be copied and pasted into a spreadsheet for further analysis or writes the paired data to DSS, one curve per record, in a variety of choices for defining the axis and series. The 'Output Details' section allows the definition of the rows and columns of the output data so that pivoting in the spreadsheet is not necessary. The selection of the rows and columns also controls the choice for writing to DSS. A tabke provides a description of the features available in the DAD tool.
When working with gridded data, the tool has the option to process TINs as grid cell averages or discrete point values. Non-gridded TINs are always processed as discrete point value datasets.
