There are a many options available for loading a design to get started. Three options exist in the top right of the window pane to help the user quickly launch a simulation (Figure 2-3).

Figure 2-3 My Designs

The My Designs pane has three function options.

1. Search: This field allows the user to type the name of a saved design and a tiled display of saved designs automatically filters to match the entered text (Figure 2-4).

   The Open Design button allows the user to open saved configurations from the tiled display list.

2. Import design file: This option allows a user to save the design to a local file once a simulation configuration is started. This file is saved in a .json format and read into the tool. A saved .json file is a preferred method for sharing design configurations.
3. Create new design: This option prompts the user to select a magnet shape, a type of motion, and up to six sensors to place in the simulation environment.

There are several reference designs available within the bottom pane of the GUI welcome page. These designs offer users a quick start configuration for several common functions (Figure 2-5).

The reference designs include:

• Angle Encoding
• Slide-By
• Incremental Encoding
• Head-On
• Lid Closure
