13.2. Opening a Project

After you have successfully configured a server, you can open projects from the server in the medini analyze Model Browser. Here you can edit them as you would edit any other project in the client. Although the server can host different types of projects, only projects that can be edited in the desktop client are shown.

Server projects are organized into spaces.

  • Projects in your personal space belong to you.

  • Projects in an organizational space can be accessed by other users. Whether you can see, copy, or edit the project depends on the project type, the visibility set on the project, and your assigned role.

Note that a server project icon with a yellow lock overlay means that you have only read-only access to the project.

Note:  For more information about projects and their settings in the Portal server, in the Ansys System Engineering Portal, click the Help link. Or, in the Ansys Help Portal, find the System Engineering Portal User Guide.

There are several ways to open a shared project in Ansys medini analyze:

  • In the medini analyze Server Browser

  • Launch medini analyze from the command line using the project URL

  • In the System Engineering Portal, click the Open in app button to open your safety project in medini analyze

Note that medini analyze prompts you to sign in to the server if you are not already signed in.
