Assumptions Made        Displays all assumptions that you have made in the Explanations Window

Cycle T-s Diagram        Displays a Temperature-Entropy diagram for the cycle.  It is possible that this command will not work for complex cycles.

Cycle P-v Diagram        Displays a Pressure-(specific) volume diagram for the cycle.  It is possible that this command will not work for complex cycles.

Whole Cycle        Pops up a meter window displaying parameters pertaining the cycle as a whole

Subcycle-x        If your cycle is comprised of two or more subcycles, as in the combined cycle library example2MT8OSR, a menu item for each subcycle will appear.  The letter in the label will correspond to the letters on the stuffs of the subcycle.

Stage-<device>        If you are using the economic model, CyclePad aggregates turbines and compressors into stage devices, because otherwise it would assume that each turbine and/or compressor is a separate device, and apply the cost of installation to each, which would grossly overestimate the capital cost.  These menu items enable you to view parameters particular to these stage devices.

Memory        Refreshes the display of available memory at the lower left corner of the screen.  When available memory drops below a safe amount, this message will flash to warn you to save your work and restart CyclePad.

Recalculate        Causes CyclePad to attempt to calculate more information about the current cycle.  You probably won’t have any use for this command, as CyclePad automatically calculates every value possible when you input information.  If you think that CyclePad should have calculated more information than it is currently displaying, try this command—it is possible that CyclePad failed to propagate a particular value.  If no additional information appears, then you should re-examine your assumptions.
