Project Settings

The Project Settings dialog allows the user to enter a Project Title, select a Unit System and turn the computation of End Wedges on or off. Project Settings is available in the toolbar, the Analysis menu or the right-click menu on any wedge view.

TIP - to save the current Project Settings as the program defaults, select the Defaults button in the Project Settings dialog, and select the "Make current settings the default" option. This allows you to save the selection of the Unit System and the Compute End Wedges option, so they will be the default settings each time you start a new file.

Project Title

The Project Title will appear in the Info Viewer listing, and also on printouts of the wedge views.

Units

The Unit System determines the length and force units used for the analysis input data and the output of results. It is important to select the desired Unit system before you begin creating your model, to ensure that the correct data is used in the analysis.

Wedge Computation

The computation of End Wedges may be turned on or off by selecting the Compute End Wedges checkbox in Project Settings. If your Unwedge model does not require the analysis of End Wedges, then you can clear this checkbox. By default the Compute End Wedges checkbox is turned on.

If Compute End Wedges is turned off, you may find that this speeds up certain computations in Unwedge, for example: if you are using the Tunnel Axis Plot option, the plot generation may be noticeably faster if the calculation of End Wedges is turned off.
