AECOsim Building Designer Help

The Energy Simulator Ribbon

The Ribbon is the main location for Energy Simulator’s tools and settings. The Ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the tools that you need to complete a task. Tools are organized in logical groups, which are collected together under tabs. Each tab relates to a type of activity, such as running steady state calculations (Calculations tab) or for modeling rooms (Home tab).



Backstage and Quick Access Toolbar

The Backstage (Energy Simulator (ribbon workflow) > File > ...) is the main location for tools used to create, load and save projects as well as to import and export gbXML projects.

The Quick access toolbar contains the same project and file operation tools as the Backstage tools.
