Edit Scenario Topology and Settings

navigation once you save a new scenario or open an existing scenario from the dashboard, you will automatically be redirected to the scenario editor, which looks very similar to the network editor there are 5 main elements in the scenario editor breadcrumb the breadcrumb at the top of the page shows the active project and scenario clicking on the xecta logo (x icon) will navigate back to the landing page equipment list as you add equipment to the scenario, it will appear in this list, which has search and filter functionality clicking on an equipment will zoom and focus the editor to that equipment design canvas equipment is placed, organized, and connected on the canvas toolbar the toolbar contains a selection tool, equipment creation tools, a zoom tool, and undo/redo tools hovering over an icon will spawn a tooltip describing that tool settings panel by default, you will see scenario level settings when no equipment is selected when equipment is selected, the content of this panel will change to be specific to the selected equipment adding and removing equipment adding and removing equipment follows the same process outlined in edit network topology docid 6wd cl18phe6uikm e ux however, when modifying a scenario, the parent network itself will not be modified the scenario keeps a local copy of the parent network, allowing you to explore alternate topologies without changing the as installed topology found in the parent network edit well settings for multi well gas lift scenarios, the only difference between the network editor and the scenario editor is the settings panel when wells are selected as previously mentioned, optimization mode (fixed or optimize) allows you to dictate whether the optimizer is allowed to adjust the gas lift injection rate on a given well critical injection rate configuration allows you to determine how to handle the critical injection rate (derived from the liquid loading critical rate) the critical rate will use the same tuning factor and correlation set in prodx the default mode is "hard", and the following modes are available hard well will not be allowed to operate below the critical injection rate soft well is allowed to operate below the critical injection rate (i e the critical injection rate is not considered in optimization) it is important to note that the optimizer will still use cash flow as it's optimization metric, which will typically prioritize a good well remaining above its critical injection rate shut in below the well will be shut in if the optimum injection allocation puts the well below its critical injection rate edit other settings all other settings (constraints, names) can be edited as described in edit network topology docid 6wd cl18phe6uikm e ux like the equipment itself, and modifications made in the scenario will not affect the parent network from which the scenario was created
