Lightning Probability |  |
The Lightning Probability automatic workflow allows users to run a lightning probability simulation using only one click.
Note that presently only lightning amplitudes at or below 198kA are supported.
InstructionsIf the default selections are sufficient, simply click the
Lightning Probability button in the Workflows section of the EMA3D tab in the ribbon to start the simulation.
To run the automatic lightning probability workflow with alternate settings, click the dropdown arrow beneath the
Lightning Probability button in the Workflows section of the EMA3D tab in the ribbon then click Settings.
Expand Lightning Probability in the Properties Panel and then change the values as desired. A list of properties and their meanings are provided in the table below. Click OK
to save and run.
