Overview
The three core components of the Dr.Q workspace — chat, code editor, and scene tree.
The Dr.Q platform workspace has three key components that work together:
- Chat — interact with the Dr.Q bot to set up your simulation step by step
- Code Editor — the Python script that describes your simulation is generated and editable here
- Scene Tree — shows the geometry and model structure
Platform areas
The platform is organised into functional areas that follow the simulation workflow:
- Projects & Versions — manage and version-control simulations
- Import Geometry — CAD import and repair
- Define Materials — material database and assignments
- Boundary Conditions — supports and symmetry
- Loads — forces, pressures, and moments
- Contact Definition — bonded, sliding, friction
- Create Mesh — element selection and refinement
- Solver Setup — calculation settings
- Jobs — manage calculation tasks
- View Results — visualisation and evaluation
- Export & Reporting — download and share results
Project management
A project is the container for your entire simulation. You can manage multiple projects at the same time and switch between them from the dashboard.
Name projects descriptively — for example Bracket_LoadCase_A_v2 rather than something generic. You'll thank yourself when you have dozens of projects and need to find one quickly.
