You can choose to use a default label, in which case the label will be assembled based on the particular instruction it
is associated with. Alternatively you can choose to specify the label yourself.
When instructions are added the Label Cell and Output Cell values on the Instructions Wizard will be incremented
automatically. This automatic procedure will not always produce the values you require. However, it generally gives
a good first effort which you can modify later.
Exclude header text
Some results, for example range graphs, linked statistics, spectral density etc., produce output that includes column
headers. There are situations where these column headers are undesirable and if that is so the "Exclude header text"
box can be checked to suppress their output.
4.4.10 Duplicate Instructions
The Duplicate Instructions form allows you to duplicate sets of OrcaFlex spreadsheet instructions for multiple load
cases.
Suppose you are analysing a number of different load cases for a variety of environmental conditions. Once you have
built the spreadsheet instructions for a single load case you typically want to generate the same instructions for
each other load case. The Duplicate Instructions form automates this procedure.
The Duplicate Instructions form can be found on the OrcaFlex menu in the spreadsheet. Before using it you should
create a set of instructions for the first load case – an example is shown below:

You are now ready to use the Duplicate Instructions form. When it first opens it looks as follows:
