Interface

When you start the Engee session, a workspace opens that includes the following elements:

interface 1 1 x en

To display modeling tools (№5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) click the switch "Modeling environment" in the window "Interface settings» interface setting 1 (№15):

  1. Canvas is the workspace on which the models are built;

  2. Software Development section is a set of tools for working with code, consisting of script editor interactive script icon, command line img 41 1 2 and the windows model diagnostics model diagnosis main;

  3. Charts charts icon — a data visualization tool that displays the results of work on the command line in the form of visual diagrams and graphs. For more information, see Charts.

  4. Files and Variables section is a set of tools for working with files and variables, consisting of file browser file browser 7 and variable windows variables article 2 1;

These applications open in a separate browser tab.;

  6. The library of blocks block library icon — set blocks Engee from which models are assembled;

  7. Simulation Management section — a set of options for managing models. On this panel, the following are launched start button, stop stop button 1, are being compiled compile button 1 models and their simulation time is adjusted;

  8. Code generation codegen button — a tool for generating code from models. Generation is implemented for C, Chisel, and Verilog (HDL) languages. Read more about code generation in Engee in the article Code generation;

  9. Switching the target platform change platform button — switch the target workspace platform between Engee (default) and RITM.Manager. Read more about the work of RHYTHM in the Engee workspace in the article Model Settings;

  10. Model Navigation Panel — a panel for selecting the desired model and navigating through the hierarchy within a specific model;

  11. Model Data Editor model data editor — it is a tool for controlling model signals. For more information, see the article Model Data Editor;

  12. Settings and Visualization section — a set of tools consisting of windows of physical variables variable viewer icon, settings windows debug article icon 1 and signal visualization windows graphs icon 1;

  13. Account account icon — transition to personal account of the user;

  15. Interface settings interface setting 1 — a set of options for configuring the workspace. It includes language selection, interface layout, and more.;

  16. Feedback feedback icon — A tool for sending suggestions, bug reports, or requests for new features. You can also use it to restart the Engee kernel.;

  17. Make screenshot screenshot icon — a tool for saving images in PNG and SVG formats (not supported in Firefox). They are also supported bookmarks that allow you to quickly navigate between models and their nesting levels;

  18. Zoom Adjustment — adjusts the scale of the canvas without affecting the scale of the interface or browser;

  19. Status bar — displays the current status of the selected model solver, simulation time and its progress. It also allows you to navigate to tabs. settings windows debug article icon 1.

For quick navigation through the workspace and in each tool, we recommend that you read the article on keyboard shortcuts Engee.

Configuring the interface

In Engee, you can customize the interface yourself (the location of windows on the canvas) or use ready-made options.:

  • To configure it yourself, move the desired window: hold it down with the left mouse button and drag it to one of the suggested workspace locations.:

    You can place several tools together by dragging their headers with the left mouse button to the desired area.:

    interface variation 2 en

    You can enlarge the window you need to work by double-clicking on its name with the left mouse button. Double-clicking again will return the window to its original position.:

    Description of the tool options Interface settings interface setting 1 presented below:

    The list of options in the Interface Settings window

    • Modeling environment — enables/disables Engee modeling tools.

    • Language — switches the interface between Russian and English.

    • Dark theme (experimental) — enables a dark theme in the workspace.

    • Font settings — Opens the Engee workspace font settings window.

    • Layouts — displays the preset interface option:

      1. Standard standart scenario — opens the main tools of the Engee workspace, namely:

        • File browser with tabs for variables and block libraries;

        • Script editor and command line;

        • Charts and settings windows.

      2. Programming programming scenario — opens variables and script editor.

      3. Testing testing scenario — opens the script editor and the graph window.

      4. Modeling modeling scenario — opens the library of blocks and settings.

      5. Simulation simulation scenario — closes all workspace tools.

      6. Save current layout — saves the layout of the Engee interface. It is possible to save multiple templates:

        layout 1 → layout 2

    • Grid — includes a grid on the canvas.

    • All block labels — includes model block signatures.

    • Selecting objects with the left mouse button — enables the selection of objects using LMB (disabled by default). When activated, it allows you to select an area with objects by holding down the left mouse button to transfer them.

  • Select objects in a convenient way — with the Shift key held down or with the left mouse button. To do this, enable the option Selecting objects with the left mouse button in the window "Interface settings» interface setting 1.

Appearance

In addition to interface settings, you can control the appearance of the workspace.:

  • Change the text and borders of model blocks:
