Enter the name of the project as "Tutorial Exercise 1''. Click the OK button.
This creation of a new project causes any currently active project to be deactivated (if one was active) and all related graphic windows to be closed. A project needs at least one grid folder in which a power (sub)system is defined. Therefore, a grid folder is created automatically and its edit dialogue pops up, as depicted in Figure C.5.

The grid edit dialogue
Set the name of the grid to "Part 1''. Set the frequency to 50 Hz. The PowerFactory tutorial system is designed for 50 Hz.

The Owner field is optional and is normally used to enter a project, company or any other appropriate name. In this tutorial, the Owner name is not used, although "DIgSILENT Tutorial" is entered in Figure C.5. In the background, the new grid "Part 1'' is created in the project, together with a 'Study Case' folder which is used to activate the grid and to perform calculations for it. This study case is given a default name (which is, surprisingly, "Study Case''). The newly created project and the study case are activated automatically, an empty single line graphic will be displayed. The PowerFactory workspace should now look as shown in Figure C.6. The numbered labels in the figure correspond with the following parts of the workspace: 1 2 The main menu bar. The main icon bar. This contains a list box showing all study cases which are available. Choosing a different study case in the list switches to that study case. If there is not enough space to display all buttons on the pane, this toolbar is displayed with small 'up' and 'down' arrow buttons, with which the rest of the buttons can be accessed. The local graphics window icon bar. This toolbar is also displayed with small 'up' and 'down' arrow buttons which allow access to additional buttons if the window is too small to display all buttons. The icons in this icon bar depend on the content of the window shown. In this particular case it is the graphics window with the single line diagram. The empty single line graphics window with drawing grid. The grid shows where graphical elements will snap, if the snap option is activated. The drawing toolbox. This is displayed in its 'docked' state on the right side of the graphics window. The output window. This is the white window below the graphics window. It is used to show text messages, text reports and also shows active links for debugging the data model. The status bar. This gives feedback about the present status of PowerFactory. For example, it indicates the position of the cursor either in the graphics window or in the output window. It also shows the name of the currently active project.
