Advanced Editor
Aurora also includes the Advanced Editor grid view for managing Study Cases. This form offers a one-stop view of all Study Cases settings and whether they are selected to run during the simulation.
Base Case
One row in the grid can be specified as the Base Case by selecting a radial button in the Base Case column. The base case row is treated differently than other rows; before any of the change sets in any of the other case rows are merged, the change sets in the Base Case will be merged into the input dataset. The Change Sets in the Base Case row are included in every case, even if the Base Case is not run. This feature is used to set up a Base Case with changes to the input database and then use that as the base for further runs. In the screenshot above, the DemandUpdate change set will be used in the Base Case, and also merged into the other two cases before applying changes to Henry Hub prices. Please note that Aurora will report an error if the same change set is selected in both the Base Case and another case being run.
Run Case
The Run Case column controls whether the case is actually run. The Run Order column controls the order in which the studies are run. Type in the number desired. If the Run Order column is blank, studies will be run in the order listed.
