Tutorial: Using the Data Studio¶
For a full explanation of how the Data Studio connects to the canvas, see Data Studio.
This tutorial shows you how to get your data documents loaded and ready for a simulation. Takes about 5 minutes.
The Co-engineer can do this for you. Ask it: "Activate the three most recent electrode coating documents in the Data Studio." It will select and activate the right documents without you needing to navigate here manually. Come to the Data Studio directly when you want to compare values visually or edit inline.
Step 1 — Open the Data Studio¶
Click Data Studio in the sidebar. When you first open it, it asks you to pick a schema.
Step 2 — Pick a schema¶
Click the Select a schema… dropdown. All schemas in your project appear.
Click the schema you want to work with — for example Electrode Coating.
Step 3 — Activate documents¶
All data documents following that schema appear in a list on the left. Click the ones you want to compare — each one becomes a column in the table, with all fields as rows.
With 3 documents activated you can compare their values side by side at a glance:
Step 4 — Edit inline if needed¶
Double-click any cell to edit the value directly. Press Enter to save. The change saves back to the original document immediately — this is not a temporary view.
Step 5 — The canvas picks this up automatically¶
Whatever documents are activated here are what the canvas runs on. Go to Simulation Studio — the canvas will re-run automatically with the new inputs. Swap a document out and it recalculates again.
