  • When you start MAEviz and if this is the first time you have run MAEviz, you will be shown the welcome screen. To begin working with MAEviz, click the rightmost icon ( ) which will take you directly to the MAEviz workbench.
  • From the application's menu bar, click File -> New Scenario. Alternatively, you can click the New Scenario button ( ) from the Scenario View's tool bar
  • The New Scenario Wizard will now be showing. This is where you define the scenario that you would like to work with. Enter a name for your scenario, such as "Charleston", and then optionally enter any descriptive information about the scenario in the large text box. Click the Next button. See the figure below.

You should see a list of states appear in alphabetical order. Scroll down to find the state of Tennessee and click the (+) (plus) symbol next to South Carolina. You will now see a list of counties displayed. Scroll down to find Charleston and click the box so that a check appears next to the name.

Click Next when finished.
  • The next screen allows you to select a default set. This will populate the analysis user interface pages with default data where applicable (e.g. default fragilities, default fragility mapping, etc). From the dropdown menu, select "South Carolina Defaults". Note: For completeness, this tutorial will assume that no default set has been chosen so you might find some fields that you are requested to fill in already filled in for you. In these cases, you can ignore the tutorial instructions. Click Finish to complete the wizard and have MAEviz initialize your new scenario
