Creating a Project from an Existing Model

This page will explain how to create a new Project by uploading the file from your local system.

All model management functions are performed in the Manage Models section of PHENOM. After logging in, please click on the Manage Models icon.

Create a New Project

It is possible to upload new content and create a new project all at once! To start, click on the Create New Project button.

Select Models

Once you click the button, the following screen should appear to the right of the Project listing.

For the Project Name, please use a valid identifier.

You may leave Description blank. This field is intended for you to capture notes about the project (or model) and how it will be used.

Once the file has been successfully uploaded, click on the SAVE button.

Switch to New Model

After saving the model, it will appear in the project browser. Simply right-click on the new project and choose Switch. This will load the new project and you are able to start operating on this content.

You can verify that you have switched to the new project by looking at the top of your PHENOM display. The current project is displayed beside your username.
