Start new project

sisHYD keeps all information and data which belong to a hydraulic network calculation together in the form of a project. The storage takes place in the so-called project directory and its subdirectories.

A project consists of the following components:

Configuration files with the project settings and user settings for the project
Design file with the supervision of the network
Input and output files of network calculation
Reports for the evaluation of the data volume and of network calculations

Select project directory

Note: The selection of the project directory begins with the assistant at the basis of sisHYD projects:

Create a new subdirectory by entering the desired directory name pressing the OK button to confirm.

If the project already exists and should be overwritten, a security question is asked, which must be confirmed with yes.

The selection of the project directory is now complete. Press continue, so that the assistant continues to the next step.

If there is already a sisHYD project in the selected directory that another user has open, the assistant does not allow it to be overwritten.
