Application menu
When Display 2.1 is first launched, the Dashboard below is shown. This remains visible at all stages of the project design and as
will be seen, tabs will appear in a logical order to prompt you to enter the required data at each stage of the design process.
As you can see, the application prompts you to enter the details of your array as the first step however it is worth taking a look
at the options available under each menu item first.
The file menu offers three options; first you can load an existing project to continue working on something you have already
created. Next you can save the current project and finally you can start a new project. Note that until you have actually started
on a project and saved it, the ‘create new project’ option will have no effect.
The Add menu prompts you to add the details of your Multicellular array.
The Export menu is where the finished optimisation(s) and 3D models are uploaded to a file. This is the final stage of the design
process and we will look at this process later in this guide.
The Help menu brings up a set of options for the project which can be selected to suit the design you are working on
