A simulation can be initiated from either the Run Buttons or the Run Menu. Once initiated, a "WEPS Run Name" window will appear, allowing the user to edit the default WEPS Run name displayed in the first (top) field labeled "Run Name". The user also also has the option to change the default "WEPS Run" location in the second (middle) field labeled "Run Location". If the user does not remember the exact path they desire the WEPS Run to be placed in, they can use the folder icon
to bring up a file chooser to select the WEPS Run directory location. The complete WEPS "Run File" name and path are displayed in the third (bottom) read-only field.
¤Note: the following characters cannot be used in WEPS file names: \ / < > | ? * & " ~ ' ` :
