Running an Analysis

An analysis is set up in the New analysis wizard. The wizard has five steps, or six when the analysis includes a flight model:

Step	Name	What you do
1	Upload	Load the STEP or STL file of the aircraft.
2	Geometry	Confirm the orientation and the reference values.
3	Flight	Enter the speed, the mass, the centre of gravity and the air.
4	Package	Choose what to compute.
5	Aircraft	Assign the control surfaces and set up the motors (Full flight model and Multirotor only).
6	Review	Check the plan and launch the runs.

The wizard saves a draft as you go. A draft appears in Projects with the state Draft, and opens again at the step where you left it. The CAD file of a draft is kept in the browser on that computer; a draft opened in another browser shows This draft is no longer available on this device.

The steps that you have completed are marked with a tick in the step list on the left. You can go back to any completed step by selecting it. After the runs are launched, the wizard is locked.
