NOTE: This on-line demonstration was created using Version2 of the software. We are now shipping Version 3, which operates in the same way, but with enhancements that expand its capabilities.
Creating or Opening a Project
When you open the software a typical MS Application Program menu bar appears under the Athena - Athena Tree Control title bar (File, Insert .....View, Help) along with a set of more universal icons under the menu bar.
Immediately below the icon tool bar you will see the Athena Tree Control window which operates as a hierarchial viewer of all inputs into the software, allowing you to create and compare projects, insert assemblies, track your assembly inputs and modify them. Essentially the Athena Tree Control window allows you to perform all the logic operations offered on the main menu bar. For example, within the Athena Tree Control window you will see Athena's Root [R] command line highlighted ([R] ATHENA 2.0).
Clicking New Project in the right-click menu opens the "General Project Description" dialog.
Move the cursor over the image below and click anywhere on a new menu to simulate clicking New Project and creating a new project input file, or click the Forward button.
