Once configured, the rainfall rate of a flood simulation can be exported to a .csv file and reused by others. This can be useful for running standardized scenarios, such as the local definition of the 100 year flood, or recreating the results of a specific storm.

Rainfall configuration can be imported from a .csv file. The file may only contain three columns and they must be in the following order:
- Seconds
- Rate
- Unit
To import a .csv file containing the rainfall configuration, complete the following steps:
- With the Configure Simulation pane open and the simulation selected in the Contents pane, click the orange arrow
.The Load window appears.
- Browse to the location of the .csv file you want to add.
- Select it and click OK.
