System Response: TOPS Pro redisplays the Analysis View with three
new panes, as pictured below.
Notice that TOPS Pro has proceeded to the next step in the analysis.
We've completed the shipcase stage of the analysis; now we're ready to
work with the unitload solutions, which will complete the analysis.
All three panes work in conjunction with one another. Let's briefly outline
these three panes:
UnitLoad Solution View: This pane displays a graphic of what a
selected unitload solution looks like – i.e., how the knockdowns are
loaded onto the pallet.
UnitLoad Statistics View: This pane displays detailed statistics for a
selected solution.
UnitLoad Solution List: This pane displays a list of all the solutions
generated for the analysis. For this analysis, TOPS Pro has generated
two solutions for the given shipcase and unitload parameters.
For each solution, this pane displays 15 items of basic information –
case weight, volume, vertical dimension, etc. – which appear in 15
columns across the pane.
4. Select a unitload solution.
