12. Projects¶
The Projects application in d3VIEW helps keep not only your data organized, but your roles and users focused on important goals and tasks while using the platform. Projects can be populated with simulations, physical tests, templates and files to help users collaborate on studying important data.
What Will Be Covered
- Creating New Projects
- Adding Simulations, Physical Tests and Templates
- Project Sections and Basic Overview
12.1. New Projects¶
To get started on using this application, you’ll need to first create a new project. In this section, we’ll go over the basic steps to creating one as well as a home page overview of your newly created project. Make sure to click over to your “Projects” section under the left panel application menu.
Creating a New Project¶
From the all projects home, start by clicking on the “New Project” button in the top right corner of the page, opening up the New Project window.
Figure 1: New Project Window
In this window, fill out your desired specifications for the Project. You can also pick users to add to the project, write out a description, add tags, pick a parent project if you have any and choose a program. Most importantly, make sure to choose a name. You can also come back to edit these specifications later. To finish, click “OK”.

Existing users are prevented to add to the same Project again with a Different role.

New Project Overview¶
After clicking “OK” in the New Project window, your new project should appear on the All Projects tabs. Click on the project’s name on the black folder to open it in a separate tab.
Figure 2: Open Newly Created Project
The Home section of your project shows an overview of activity on the application, particularly activity such as who has created or made edits to projects and their data. On the left side panel, you can move through the different sections of your project: Home, Simulations, Physical Tests, Templates and Files.

NEW as of March 7, 2022, you can now view a summary of a project in the Home tab.

12.2. Populating a Project¶
After creating your project, you’ll want to populate it with you data. In this section, we’ll go over adding simulations, physical tests and templates to your project.
Adding a Simulation¶
To open the Submit Simulation window, click on Simulation under “+ Add” at the bottom of the Project’s panel. You can also click on the “New Simulation” button in the top right corner of the project’s Simulations section.
Figure 5: New Simulation
In this window, make sure to choose the current project under the “Project” drop-down located next to “Milestone” in the same row as “Description”. Then, continue configuring the simulation as usual. Please visit “Simulations” in the d3VIEW documentation to learn how to submit a simulation successfully.

Adding a Physical Test¶
To open the Create New Test window, click on the “New Physicaltest” button in the top right corner of the project’s Physical Tests section.
Figure 7: New Physical Test
In this window, make sure to choose the current project under the “Project” drop-down located next to “Loadcase” in the same row as “Program”. Then, continue configuring the physical test as usual. Please visit “Physical Test” in the d3VIEW documentation to learn how to upload a physical test successfully.

Adding a Template¶
To open the Create Response Template window, go to the project’s Templates section and click on the “New Template” button in the top right corner of the page. Create the template as usual. Please visit “Templates” in the d3VIEW documentation to learn how to navigate this window. There is no option to choose a project under this window. By creating the template in project application, the template will automatically appear to the project.

12.3. Projects Overview¶
Once you have populate your project, you’ll want to navigate through your data. In the following, we’ll review the actions you can take on your project sections and data.
All Projects Overview¶
The “All Projects” tab shows all your current projects you have created or to which you have been added. Click on the blue pencil icon to edit a project’s specifications. Click on the red x icon to delete a project. You can also see a site map view of this page by clicking on the tree icon at the top of the page.
Figure 10: All Projects Tab Overview
NEW as of February 3, 2022, you can create projects that belongs to other projects and view them in a folder structure.

Simulations Overview¶
Your added simulations will appear in this section of the project panel. Click on a simulation’s name to open it in the Simulation View window. Right click on a simulation to perform actions on it.
Figure 12: Simulations Overview
Physical Tests Overview¶
Your added physical tests will appear in this section of the project panel. Click on a physical test’s name to open it in the Physical Test View window. Right click on a physical test to perform actions on it.
Figure 13: Physical Tests Overview
Templates Overview¶
Your added templates will appear in this section of the project panel. Click on the template’s name to open it up in the Template View window. Right click on a template to perform actions on it.
Figure 14: Templates Overview
Files Overview¶
Files from your Simulations and Physical Tests will appear in this section of the project panel. Right click on a files to perform actions on it.You can also perform commands by selecting a file and using the action buttons at the top of the page. Here, you can click on “View” to open the file in the Data Viewer.

Tree View¶
Tree view on the Projects page is now a Dynamic Tree View version where nodes can be clicked to fetch the children
Tree View
Dynamic Tree view in Projects has new options such as View type, orientation, Download , Enlarge and settings.
Legends position can be changed in Tree view under Projects.
