Create Project & Studies

This tutorial will explain how to create a project and studies.

See Glossary of key terms used in DTOceanPlus for the definition of the main concepts.

Create the project

1. Connect to the DTOceanPlus application with a user with User profile.

2. On the Dashboard click the Projects button.

   

3. The Projects page lists the existing project. Click the Create New Project button to create a new project.

4. Fill the information of the project: project name, Technology, Type of Device. You can also add a logo and a short desription.

   

5. You can edit the project information using the Edit button in the projects list.

6. Click the View Button in the list to open the project.

Create studies

A project is composed of one or several studies.

Note

It is possible to create different kind of studies:

• Standalone: with only one module.

• Design and Assessment: with all the modules.

By default a Project will open the Design and Assement tab to use the integrated suite of tools.

To create a new Design and Assement study using the integrated suite of tools

On the Design and Assement tab:

1. First Select an existing or create a new Site and Machine

   1. Click Select to open a list of exiting Sites. Click Select next to the corresponding site to use that one. Clicking Open will open the Site Characterisation module in a new browser tab.

   2. Alternatively, click Create, then enter a name and select the required complexity level. Clicking Open will open the Site Characterisation module in a new browser tab.

   3. Similarly, click Select or Create for Machine Characterisation, to define the machine to be used in the study. Note that the complexity leve for MC and Energy Capture must be the same.

2. Click the Create New Study button. Fill in the study name, optionally enter a description, and click Create.

3. Click Open to show the list of modules. You can also Edit the Name/description, or Delete the Study.

4. Run through the Deployment and Assement modules in order to build up your study.

   1. Click Create next to Energy Capture to create a new EC Entity, and fill in the details. Note that the complexity for EC depends on the MC complexity, and the Machine type is determined at Project level.

   2. Click Open to open the Energy Capture module in a new browser tab, and follow the instructions in the Energy Capture tutorials to determine the energy captured by the device or array.

   3. Once this is complete, return to the Main Module page.

5. Repeat this process for each of the modules you wish to use in turn.

To create a new Standalone study using one of more tools independently

On the Standalone tab:

1. Click Create New Standalone Study button.

2. Fill in the Study Name, select the Study Module, and optionally enter a description.

3. Click Open to show this study

4. Click Create to register a new Entity for the selected module. Fill in the Name, optionally add a description, and select the required complexity level.

5. Click Open to load the module in a new browser tab.

Note

In standalone mode, the user has to provide all of the input data which would come from previous modules in integrated mode.

This is therefore a more advanced use case.

Share the Project

You can share the project with other users:

1. Go to the Users tab.

2. Register new users to your project.

Warning

• The current version of the project does not check concurent access to the project.

• All users have the same rights and can unregister any other users.

• Users linked to a project cannot be deleted.
