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. This is an arbitrary pixel location that the user will then define a Known Point (user coordinate system X (ft), Y (ft) values - see below) against so the picture pixel space can be mapped to the user coordinate X (ft), Y (ft) space. - **Known Point**: the user coordinate system values for that pixel, in feet. The user coordinate system is arbitrary and typically 0,0 would be used for the Known Point but if a plant coordinate system it to be matched for convenience, the user may enter some other value like 200 ft, 500 ft so the Known Pixel location is correctly matched to the plant coordinate Known Point values. - **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. Check that the expected phase (liquid or gas) of the material is as expected. 5. Right-click the source and choose **Add TNT Model**. 6. 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]]
