In order to start a new analysis, press New button from the top toolbar or choose FileNew menu. The main steps of correlation analysis are described below:

 

 

1. Choose the target soil parameter

What soil parameter you are looking for? NovoFORMULA provides you with a list of soil properties which can be estimated based on other parameters (see #1 in the screenshot above).

 

2. Enter soil parameters

Depending on the chosen target parameter, the table at the bottom-left portion of the page will be populated with the list of the required soil parameters. If the value of all these parameters are entered, then all available correlation for the target soil parameter will be provided to you. However, in most cases we just have some of these soil properties; this will cause part of the correlations be presented. As you enter soil parameters (see #2 in the screenshot), the list of formulas (#3) is updated with more equations.

 

3. Review the results

Once you are done with data entry, review the list of correlations (see #3 on screenshot). By clicking on each row, additional comments and the actual equation are presented below the table. Based on these comments you may want to remove some of the results from the list by un-checking the box to the left of each row (for example the equation might have been derived for another soil type or geographical location, etc). Once you remove an equation from the list, the average of correlated values will be updated.

 

 By clicking on "Distribution Chart" button, will show a chart containing all correlated values in a chart.
