You can save each results table separately, or you can save all analysis results, including the Seakeeper input data, in one file.

It is possible to save the results from Seakeeper. Select the table that you wish to save in the Results window, then select “Save *** Results As…” from the file menu:

Saving MSI results from the Results window with the MSI table selected.

Seakeeper will step through all the combinations tested and save them in a tab delimited text file. This can take some time, depending on the number of combinations tested; you will see the Results toolbar updating as the different combinations are saved.

It is also possible to save and re-open Seakeeper all analysis results. To save the results of an analysis choose: File | Save Seakeeper Data As… and select “Seakeeper analysis results (*.skr)” as the file type.

Choose “Seakeeper analysis results” as the file type

Warning!

These files can be quite large, requiring approximately 1.5Mbytes per heading/speed/spectrum combination, depending on the number of remote locations, and frequencies analysed. Thus 5 speeds, 10 headings and 5 spectra would result in a file of about 5 ´ 10 ´ 5 ´ 1.5Mbytes = 375Mbytes.

To re-open the data at a later date, first open the Maxsurf model, then choose the relevant “Seakeeper analysis results (*.skr)” file from the File | Open Seakeeper Data dialog. Make sure you switch to the Seakeeper analysis results (*.skr) file format in the open dialog.
