Navigation bars

The user interface has two main navigation bars:

MDESIGN cloud bar:

  • Upload file: Transfer files to the MDESIGN cloud.
  • Home folder: Manage your files.
  • Unsubscribe: End your session safely.

MDESIGN strip:

  • Calculations: Carry out technical calculations.
  • Documentation: Access comprehensive documentation.

File management

In the MDESIGN cloud, you can use the "Home Folder" to store your data. You can use this to import calculation data from your hard disk, for example, store your calculations and documentation and then download them to your computer. This folder therefore forms the central interface between the virtual machine and your hardware.

Click on the "My Files" icon in the MDESIGN cloud navigation bar and select the "Home Folder" folder in the pop-up window.

  • Import files: Upload files to your home folder using the "Upload file" function.
  • Open files: Access your uploaded files and open them directly in the MDESIGN cloud.

Saving and exporting

To save the results after your calculation, click on "Save as" in the MDESIGN navigation bar and select the "Home Folder" storage location under "This PC". You can also save your documentation in the "Home Folder", e.g. as a PDF. To do this, use the "Export" icon in the MDESIGN navigation bar and select the "Home Folder" as the storage location.

  • Save results: Save your work in the home folder for easy access from any device.
  • Export documents: Export your results and documentation as a PDF and download them to your local device.

To download your documents, open the "Home Folder" via "My Files" in the MDESIGN cloud navigation bar, select the relevant file and click on the arrow symbol at the end of the respective line. Select "Download" to download the file to your computer.
