Spectral Energy dialog

The Spectral Energy dialog can be accessed when the spectral coverage is active. The dialog is opened by either double-clicking on a selected node/point or by right-clicking on a selected point and choosing the Point Attributes command. The spectrum represents energy densities at discrete values over a range of angles and a range of frequencies for a given wave condition.
