Working with Maxwell Projects and Designs

A Maxwell project is a folder that includes one or more Maxwell models, or designs. Each design ultimately includes a geometric model, its boundary conditions and material assignments, and field solution and postprocessing information.

A new project called Projectn is automatically created when the software is launched, where n is a number. If you select the Insert a design of type radio button on the Desktop Configuration options panel, a design of the specified type is automatically created for the new project. You can also open a new project by clicking File > New. In general, use the File menu commands to manage projects. If you move or change the names of files without using these commands, the software may not be able to find information necessary to solve the model.
