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.
