The new project dialog requires the following information:

  • Library
    Select the model library for your project. This choice determines the available units, global variables, and model equations. The library selection cannot be changed after project creation.

  • Project Name
    Enter a name for your project. This will be displayed throughout SimTech IPSE GO. While a project name is required, it does not need to be unique and can be modified later.

  • Project Description
    Optionally add a brief description to help identify the project’s purpose and contents. This can be particularly useful when managing multiple projects.

After filling out the required fields, confirm by clicking Create to create your new project. The project editor should be opened automatically.
