Creating a Project

From the Projects Dashboard

1. After logging in, you land on the Projects Dashboard.
2. Type a project name in the text field at the top.
3. Click Create Project.
4. You'll be redirected to the project optimization screen.

Project Cards

Each project appears as an expandable card on the dashboard showing:

• Project name (click to expand)
• Last run date or creation date
• Status indicator — green dot means the project has optimization results

Expanding a card reveals key metrics from the last optimization run:

• Weight (kg/m²), Cost ($/m²), Carbon (kgCO₂e/m²), Depth (mm)
• For multi-span projects, the number of spans is shown

Project Actions

From the dashboard, each project offers:

• Open Project — navigate to the optimization screen
• Download Report — generate a PDF report (only available if results exist)
• Delete — permanently remove the project (with confirmation)

Data Persistence

Cimbra automatically saves your work:

• Form inputs, span data, mold selections, and material choices are persisted
• When you reopen a project, all previous inputs and results are restored
• A status message shows "Last optimization: [date]" when viewing restored results
