This tutorial provides a general overview of the application files as well as introduction into the most common user operations which can be done in the program. |
How DelftShell files are organized?
The DelftShell application consists of the 2 main parts, Main Application and a set of the Plugins.

In order to start the application go to the DelftShell-1.0.5546 folder (a folder you get after downloading and uncompressing the program) and then start DelftShell.Loader.exe. |

- Project Explorer - a main navigation window showing all data contained in the current project in a tree-like form.
- Message Window - logging windows, messages sent from models or different parts of the system are placed here.
- Property Grid - shows properties for an active selection of the graphical user interface.
- Toolbox - user-specific data shared between different projects (not fully implemented yet).
- Maps - tree-like window showing list of the GIS layers in the currently opened map.
- Time Series Navigator - allows to navigate through times of any time-dependent data.
- Network - allows to view / edit structure of the currently opened (hydro) network.
...
When application is started - it automatically creates a default empty project so that user can immediately start filling it in with a various data, models, etc. Project can be seen as a currently opened user work document. Currently project can be stored in SQLite database file format. Eventually DelftShell may store a model input / output data in a set of NetCDF files located next to the project file. So in total there are two non-proprietary file formats used to store project data.

Use F2 in Project Explorer in order to edit name of the project, folder, model or any other item contained. |
Generally speaking in default configuration DelftShell can store the following data types in the project:
- Folder
- Model / Composite Model - working activities which user can start in order to perform a computations
- Data - any data type registered in the system, default contain e.g. Time Series, Regular Grid Coverage or more specific data types such as Network.
- <specific application documents such as Map or Chart> - these are non-data objects but more views configured in order to view those objects.
How do I add a new Time Series or any other data type to the project.
Use a menu command shown on the screen below.
