# The workspace

> A tour of the 00 Simulator workspace: the header, the enclosure list and panel, the Driver panel, tiles, layouts and the phone dock.

Source: https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/start/workspace

Where everything is in 00 Simulator, and what it is called. Your enclosures are on the left, the graphs in the middle, and the selected enclosure’s driver, power, EQ and environment on the right.

_Figure: The 00 Simulator workspace on a desktop, numbered: 1 the header, 2 the enclosure list, 3 the enclosure panel, 4 the layout bar with Add tile, 5 the tiles, 6 the Driver panel._

The vented example from [Your first design](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/start/first-design) at 200 W, as a guest. The tiles show the solver’s curves for that design.

## The header

| Part | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Undo** and **Redo** | Step back and forward through your edits (⌘/Ctrl+Z and ⌘/Ctrl+Shift+Z). The arrow between them lists recent steps, and **History and saved versions…** at its foot shows the rest. When the graphs carry notes or an assistant’s marks, a third button shows or hides them. |
| The workspace name | Signed in, **Workspaces** › the name: click the name to switch (**Recent**, **All workspaces**), the star pins it, and **Workspace actions** has **New workspace**, **Duplicate workspace**, **Rename workspace**, **Delete workspace…**, **Workspace history** and **Show info**. As a guest it reads **Guest project**, with **Save**. |
| **AI** | Connects your own AI assistant to your account: [Connect your AI assistant](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/ai/connect). |
| **Share** | Makes a link to the enclosures you pick: [Share and publish](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/guides/sharing). |
| **Export** | Files out (**Hornresp…**, **WinISD…**, **00sim project…**) and in (**Open 00sim project…**, **WinISD…**, **From another workspace…**, and measured traces): [Import and export](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/guides/import-export). |
| **Settings** | **Display…**, **Appearance…**, **Simulation…**, **Drivers…** and **Passive radiators…**: [Settings and themes](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/guides/settings). |
| **Log in** | Signs you in; once you are, your avatar holds the account menu. |
| **Info** | **Docs**, **Gallery**, **About**, **Roadmap** and **Changelog**, with the app’s version. |

## The enclosure list

The left panel lists every enclosure in the workspace, one row each in its own colour. A row shows the name, the driver, then the type, size, power and tuning; the dot beside the power is its thermal load.

- Click a row to select it. The enclosure panel below and the Driver panel both edit the selected enclosure.
- The eye on a row takes it off the graphs. The count in the **Enclosures** header says how many are shown, and opens a menu with **Hide all**, **Swap shown and hidden**, **Select all** and **Sort once by**.
- ⌘-click (Ctrl-click on Windows and Linux) or Shift-click selects several. The header becomes a selection bar to show, hide, move or delete them together.
- Right-click a row for **Solo**, **Rename**, **Duplicate** and **Delete**, and, signed in, **Move to workspace** and **Copy to workspace**. Solo draws only those enclosures until you end it.
- **Add new enclosure**, at the foot of the list, opens **Add enclosure**: **Type**, **Driver**, **Name** and **Colour**, or **Pick an example**.
- **Measured traces**, below, holds measurements you import: [Measured traces and notes](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/guides/measurements). Most list actions have a key: [Keyboard shortcuts](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/guides/shortcuts).

## The enclosure panel

Under the list, **Enclosure** holds the selected enclosure’s box. **Type** comes first and decides the rest. A vented box shows **Volume**, **Tuning** and **Port length**, each with a slider, then these sections:

| Section | What is in it |
| --- | --- |
| **Port** | **Shape** (round, slot or a custom area), **Number of ports** and the port’s size. **Advanced**, inside it, holds **End correction** and **Port model**. |
| **Results** | Values worked out from the box, such as the port’s **Cross-sectional area** and **Port volume**. |
| **Baffle step** | **Simulate baffle step** adds the loss from a front baffle of a given **Width** and **Height**, with the driver where you place it. |
| **Box volume adjustments** | **Driver displacement** and **Bracing / other**: the space they take up inside the box. |

Each type has its own fields: [Boxes](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/boxes) and [Horns](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/horns) cover them, and [Controls and fields](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/reference/controls) lists every one.

## The Driver panel

The right panel edits what drives the selected enclosure. With nothing selected it reads **Select an enclosure to edit**.

| Section | What is in it |
| --- | --- |
| **Driver** | The driver picker and **Edit T/S**; **Number of drivers**, from 1 to 50, with **Wiring** once there are several; **Voice coil wiring** for dual-coil drivers. [Drivers: find, create, import](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/guides/drivers). |
| **Power** | **Input power**, from 0.01 W to 100 kW, on a slider whose numbers you can click; **Series resistance**; a **Series capacitor**; and the voltage that power takes. [Power and limits](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/guides/power-and-limits). |
| **EQ / filters** | The enclosure’s filters. **Add** gives high-pass and low-pass filters, parametric EQ, shelves and a Linkwitz transform. [EQ and filters](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/guides/eq-and-filters). |
| **Environment** | **Radiation space** (Full space, Half space, Quarter space, Eighth space) and **Listening distance**, for the whole workspace. |

Both side panels fold to a narrow rail with a button per section, drag by their grip to either side of the tiles, and resize from their inner edge. **Reset panels**, in the layout menu, puts them back.

## Tiles

Every graph and tool on the dashboard is a tile, and every visible enclosure draws its own curve on it in its colour. A tile’s header carries its name and its controls:

- ⓘ, **How to read this tile**, opens help beside the workspace, or as a sheet on a phone. **Full page** opens its reference page under [All tiles](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/reference/tiles).
- Controls of its own: **F3** marks on **SPL (dB)**, the warning value on **Port Velocity**, **EQ** to edit filters on the graph, and settings for the tile and its axes.
- **Expand to 2 columns** widens a tile, and **Remove graph** takes it off the dashboard.
- Drag a tile by its title to move it (**Drag to move graph**) or by its corner to resize it (**Drag to resize**). The other tiles make room, and a placeholder shows where it will land.

## Add tile

**Add tile**, at the right of the layout bar, lists every tile with a search box (**Search tiles...**). A tick marks the tiles already on the dashboard, and choosing one of those scrolls to it. A new workspace starts with just SPL (dB).

| Group | For example |
| --- | --- |
| **Editor** | EQ Editor, Horn Editor, Fold, Baffle Layout |
| **Graphs · core** | SPL (dB), Max SPL (dB), Headroom, Excursion, Port Velocity, Impedance |
| **Graphs · advanced** | Phase, Group Delay, Cone Velocity, Amplifier Load (VA), Compare |
| **Info** | Metrics, Insights, Schematic, T/S Parameters |

## Layouts and pinned tabs

A layout is a set of tiles and where they sit. The switcher at the left of the layout bar names the current one, or reads **Custom layout** when the tiles match none; a lime dot means changes that are not saved. The app has three:

| Layout | Tiles |
| --- | --- |
| Basic | SPL (dB), Impedance, Excursion |
| Headroom | Headroom, Max SPL (dB), Excursion |
| Horn Design | Horn Editor, SPL (dB), Impedance, Excursion, Group Delay |

- Pinned layouts sit beside the switcher as tabs, one click each. Basic, Headroom and Horn Design start pinned, and up to 5 can be; tabs that do not fit fold into a +N tab. Pin from a layout’s row in the switcher’s menu, or right-click a tab to **Unpin**, **Move left** or **Move right**.
- **Save as…** keeps the current tiles as a layout of your own, up to 20, saved in this browser for your account. Change a saved layout’s tiles and **Revert** and **Save** appear beside it.
- **Manage layouts…** lists every layout, pinned or not. The layout menu (⋯) at the far right also has **Shrink charts**, **Reset tiles to default** and **Reset panels**.
- More in [Layouts and pinned tabs](https://simulator.00aud.io/docs/guides/layouts).

## On a phone

_Figure: The workspace on a phone: the workspace menu at the top, one tile, and the dock with a pill per tile, the add button, the power chip and the layout button._

The same design on a phone. On a narrow screen the tiles page one at a time: swipe sideways or tap a pill.

1. Workspace menu
2. The tile on screen
3. A pill per tile
4. Add or choose a graph
5. Input power
6. Layout

- The menu at the top right (**Open workspace menu**) opens **Enclosures**, **Driver**, **Power**, **EQ** and **Environment** as drawers. The cloud at the top left goes back to your workspaces.
- The dock at the bottom has a pill per tile (the one on screen shows its name), **+** to add or choose a graph (**Add or choose a graph**), the power chip, and the layout button.
- The power chip opens **Input power** as a sheet over the dock, and the layout button opens the layouts, the list of tiles and **Add tile**. Selecting an EQ filter on a graph opens its editor the same way.
- One sheet opens at a time, and a sheet never resizes the graph above it, so EQ handles stay where they are.
