    Creating a Project - WorkSpaces and WorkSets explained

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Energy Simulator
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Environment: N/A
      Area: General Information
      Subarea: N/A

    Overview

    Workspaces, Worksets, and DGN files are used in OpenBuildings Energy Simulator to save project data. These set up a folder structure that allows for effective management of preferences, such as standards, custom constructions and schedules. Simply put:

    DGN - Your building model geometry

    WorkSet - Your project folder

    WorkSpace - A collection of projects

    Method

        1. Choose a Workspace

    Upon starting the software, dropdown menus will appear for WorkSpace and WorkSet. To create a new WorkSpace select the dropdown > Create WorkSpace.

    Suggested practise would be to place all projects within a new Workspace named Energy Simulator Projects. This can be created created locally or at a shared location - to create and manage projects on a shared server please refer to this article.

        2. Create a new Workset

    A new Workset should be created for each project. To create a new project, create a new Workset, and enter your project name. Click OK.  (Should you wish to save the project at an alternative location, select Root Folder > Browse).

        3. Create the DGN model

    Create your building model DGN in the new WorkSet by clicking on New File. The DGN should be located within the Workset selected. Simply enter a name and click OK.

    The software will now open your new project.
