  • New Project

Wipes WUFI®'s memory clean and starts a new, empty project.
The project dialog opens and allows you to give a name to the project and serves as a memo pad for some administrative project information.

  • Open

Displays the usual 'Open' dialog from which you can open existing project files (which contain the input data and the calculation results, if any).

  • Reopen

Displays a list of projects you previously worked with so that you can easily open them by simply selecting them from this list.

  • Save

Saves the input data and (after a calculation has been performed) the calculation results to the project file.
You should save the project before a calculation in case something goes wrong; you must save again after the calculation if you want to keep the results for later use.

  • Save As...

Saves the current project under a new name. The old project file, if existing, continues to exist under the old name.

  • Exit

Closes WUFI®Passive. But why should you want to?
