Click on any of the icons below to learn more about its function
This button will exit out of the Maxwell software, but here it will exit out of this tutorial.
About Maxwell
List of existing products
List of regional and international sales and support offices
Configure
Use this panel update the Maxwell resource file called maxwell.ini. Here you can configure screen size, font size, color file, directory structure, and other settings.

Project Manager
Project List Area
Alias Area
Individual Project Info
Project Manager
Actual directory on the hard drive where the project is located
List of projects in this directory
These buttons will be described in detail on the following slides.
New
Name can be up to 32 characters long
Select project type from pull down menu
Rename
Type in the new name for this particular project
Compress
Compresses each individual file in the project directories selected. This does not create one zip file that contains all project files, it will only compress each file in the project directory.
Compress/Archive
You can archive your projects and increase the amount of hard disk space on your computer. This option will only delete certain solution files, it will not compress any files. For all cases, the geometry, materials, boundaries, sources, and the rest of the problem setup are maintained.
Delete
Select Projects here Add them to the list for deletion
Click on OK to delete the projects. These projects are NOT deleted into the recycle bin; once deleted, they can never be recovered
Copy
The copy process starts with what you have selected for the current project directory. This is the destination directory.
Use these windows to pick what directory you want to copy from.
Pick the project
Choose Model only if you don’t want to copy mesh and field solution. This copies the geometry, materials, sources, and solution setup
The project 1ph_fea is being copied from f:/maxwell_projects/motors to f:/maxwell_projects/actuators and the name is changed to single_phase
Move
Use these windows to pick what directory you want to move from.
Select the project to move
Verify source and destination directories are correct
Reclassify
Use this to reclassify a project from Maxwell 2D version 7 to Maxwell 2D version 8
Search
This utility allows you to search any directory and find projects based on the Project name, who created the project, and any text added in the Notes section of the project.
Specify where to search
Search by:
Name of the project
Who created the project
Text in the Notes section
Refine your search by:
Product and type
Search
For example, say you want to search for Maxwell 2D projects containing the words “single-phase” in the notes section.
single-phase
Search
The results of this search yield the following:
Now you can click on any of the projects and open them.
Project Directories
Project directories are aliases that point to actual directories on your hard drive.
… to this directory on your hard drive. As you can see, the directory name and the alias name need not be the same.These buttons will
be described in detail on the following slides. The alias called
“linear_act” points …
Add Directory
To create a project directory …
Type in or click to choose a directory on your hard drive
F:/maxwell_projects/ind_mot
ind_3ph
Type in an Alias
Use the current directory or make a new one
Add Directory
This new alias “ind_3ph” points to the directory …
F:/maxwell_projects/ind_mot
Edit Directory
Use this window to change an Alias or directory path
Induction_motor
Pick a project directory
Change Alias or Path
Edit Directory
The alias has now changed from ind_ph3 to Induction_motor
The new alias still points to the directory: f:/maxwell_projects/ind_mot
Delete Directory
Pick a Project Directory
All of the Projects in this directory are listed here.
Delete only the alias which means that all of the projects will remain on your computer
Or remove the alias AND all of the projects from your computer. Be aware, there is no UNDELETE. These projects do not go in the Windows trash bin where they can be undeleted at a later time. They are permanently removed from you computer.
Change Directory
Type in the new directory
Or use sub directory listing to change to a new directory
Project Information

Type and Version
Project Information
If the project is terminated without using the Exit button, or if your operating system crashes, it will remain in locked status. You will need to click on Recover the next time you want to open the project.
The Notes section is useful to keep a log of the project status.
