Exporting End of Period Surfaces

On the Grid tab, in the Utility group: Click Create Surface to create a surface grid from design elements currently visible in the Design Window. (Ctrl+D,G)

Grid

Grid Folder

Accept the default Grid folder or choose a sub folder for the generated grid.

Grid Name

Enter a name for the grid (and optionally the triangulation) that will be generated by the process. E.g. "Surface" is the default here.

There will be a field after the Grid Name which will allow the format of the date to be captured as part of the Grid Name. In this case the default here is "yyyy MM dd". Select a different format if required. The Grid Name Preview shows you what each of the grid names will be like.

Separate Source and Destination

Tick this box if separate grids are required for Source and Destination.

Export Multiple Grids

This box needs to be checked to ensure end of period surfaces can be captured.

If you are unsure about the other sections, have a look at the Create Surface refresher to familiarize yourself on these options and what they do.

Export Schedule

Once Export Multiple Grids has been ticked, this enables the export schedule to have a start and end date along with period length parameters. The Schedule Type enables you to pick between Manually Specified and Reporting Period (if that has been set up). Pick the Start & End dates along with the period length then hit apply.

You should then be able to see end of period surfaces as below.
