Resource Fixed Column
Column Type = Boolean

The Resource Fixed column allows the user to set a flag which will consider the assumptions, resource begin and end date, fixed during a long-term optimization study.  A fixed resource will not be considered for long-term economic retirement and will retire on the date specified in the Resource End Date column.

 NOTE: The "Resource Fixed" option should not be used in conjunction with the "Can Drop" option. If the "Resource Fixed" flag is set for the resource, the "Can Drop" flag should not be set for the resource.  Both of the "Can Drop" and "Resource Fixed" options allow the user to limit the economic retirement of resources within the system.  Selecting both options in the Resources or Fuel tables will produce a warning message in the Status Window.

For more information, see Can Drop.
