-Press the New-button to begin a new project.+This tutorial provides a quick overview of how to set up a minimal project for a thermal modulus computation. It is not intended to cover a specific casting process in any detail, nor does it deal with the construction of a casting and feeding system. It aims to familiarize the user with the most basic steps involved to build a simple layout from imported geometry in order to compute a thermal modulus solution over its domain.
