If you are unfamiliar with the basic components of Flexcom's user interface, please refer to the Interface section first. In particular, this example assumes some level of familiarity with the Keyword Editor, Table Editor and Model View components.
In order to create a new project, select New Project from the File menu on the top menu bar. You will then be presented with options for defining a Project Name and a Project Folder. You can specify any Project Name you like – indeed the same is true for any of the keyword files which will be described in the following sections. It is advised that you use a Project Folder other than the Worked example folder in the Flexcom installation directory. This will ensure that you do not overwrite the original files provided with the program installation, and will allow you to use these files as a reference to verify your own files should you experience any problems running the example.
Once the project is created, you need to add the first keyword file to the project. To add a keyword file, select New File from the File menu on the top menu bar. You will be presented with options to select a template and name for the file. Enter the name Static.keyx (or similar, depending on your naming convention) and create an empty keyword file. The file should open in the main document panel. You should also see the file added to the project in the File View.
