• All the messages during the

analysis will be shown in the
Output Window. Especially,
one needs to be very cautious
about warning messages,
because these messages
indicate that the analysis
results may not be correct. The
model is automatically saved
before the analysis. The result
is saved as binary file(*.TA*) in
the same folder as the model.
The detail analysis information
is also saved in a text
