Projects

Each project is one airframe: its geometry, its flight conditions and every solver run of its analysis. A project card shows:

  • a picture of the aircraft from above,

  • the state: Draft (the wizard is not finished), Running, or Complete,

  • the name, the CAD file, the span and the time of the last change,

  • Max L/D, Static margin and Runs (finished of planned).

Use All, Running and Complete above the cards to filter the list. Select a card to open the project. A draft opens in the New analysis wizard at the step where you left it.

Saving

Changes to projects are saved to your account automatically. While a change is being saved, the header shows Saving…. If a save fails, a banner offers Retry saving, and under Recover changes a download of the unsaved changes.

Notifications

When a run finishes or stops, a notification is shown at the bottom right of the window, wherever you are in the Studio, for example CFD_5 · α 4° solved. Notifications are also shown when Deneb Aero queues follow-up runs by itself or frees disk space.

Quitting

In the Studio of the application, the power button next to your name quits Deneb Aero. If a run or a flight is in progress, you are asked to confirm. A stopped run resumes from its last checkpoint the next time Deneb Aero starts.
