Use this page when you need the shortest path from a blank project to a solved scenario. ![[Images/Main-UI-Blank.png]] ## Create a Project 1. Click **File > New** or the **New** toolbar button. 2. Save the project early with **File > Save As**. 3. Open the **Options** tab and enter the project author, description, weather parameters, cost adders, and calculation settings. For more detail, see [[Project Files]] and [[Options and Settings]]. ## Add a Map 1. In the **Data** tab, right-click **Maps** and choose **Add Raster Image**. 2. Select an image file for the site plan or plot plan. 3. Select the new map and set: - **Known Pixel**: a pixel location in the image. - **Known Point**: the real-world coordinate for that pixel, in feet. - **Scale Start** and **Scale End**: two pixel locations that define a known distance. - **Scale Distance**: the real-world distance between the scale points, in feet. For more detail, see [[Maps and Canvas]]. ## Add Damage Levels 1. Right-click **Damages** and choose **Add Damage Level**. 2. Rename it to something meaningful, such as `Default`, `Equipment`, or `Buildings`. 3. Edit **Damage Values**. 4. Add pressure/impulse records with the expected damage percentages. 5. Use **Plot** in the damage values editor to review the curves. For more detail, see [[Damage Levels]]. ## Add Assets 1. Right-click **Assets** and choose **Add Area Asset** or **Add Point Asset**. 2. Draw or pick the asset location on the canvas. 3. Enter the asset **Name**, **ID**, **RCV**, **Vulnerability Factor**, and **Damage Level**. 4. Repeat for each asset to include in the loss estimate. For more detail, see [[Assets]]. ## Add Sources and Models 1. Right-click **Sources** and choose **Add Source**. 2. Pick or enter the source point. 3. Select the released **Material**, process pressure, process temperature, leak type, hole diameter, tank volume, duration, and elevation. 4. Right-click the source and choose **Add TNT Model**. 5. Review the TNT yield and TNT heat of combustion. For more detail, see [[Sources and TNT Models]]. ## Run and Report 1. Click **Run Solver** on the toolbar. 2. Watch the message log for validation errors or warnings. 3. After a successful solve, use **Active Model** on the canvas toolbar to choose the source/model/damage result to view. 4. Click **View Reports** to create a `.docx` report for the active model. For more detail, see [[Running the Solver]] and [[Reports and Exports]]. ![[Images/Main-UI-Solved.png]]
