Fluid Systems Design Administration in a Nutshell

Although you can open these workbenches and use them "out-of-the-box", functionality and efficiency will be very limited.

To benefit from the full capabilities of the workbenches you will need to spend some time customizing the system to suit the requirements of your projects.

This administration guide explains what you should do.

Before Reading this Guide

Before reading this guide, you should become familiar with basic concepts such as document windows, and toolbars.

We therefore recommend that you read the Infrastructure User's Guide that describes generic capabilities common to all products. It also describes the general layout of the workbenches.

Getting the Most Out of this Guide

To get the most out of this guide, we suggest that you:

  • Carry out the administration tasks listed in Setting up Fluid Systems Design using the sample data provided without any customization.
  • Watch the video tutorial and carry out the accompanying tutorial tasks - refer to the Fluid Systems Design User's Guide.
  • Once you have gained an understanding of how the system is set up, refer to this Administration Guide again and customize your system to your own requirements by modifying the sample resource files or by creating your own files.
