3.2 Creating Projects

In the nv.design module, you can create a new project in several ways, depending on your current stage in the module workflow:

• Upon opening the module
• While working on an existing project

The created project opens with a default case (well design scenario) created automatically.
For details on creating cases, see Adding Cases.
