<h1>Designer Perspective</h1>
<p>The <em>Designer Perspective</em> is loaded the first time that you load
STEM with a set of default Views. Subsequent uses of STEM will load the
perspectives and views that you last used. <br>
<img src="img/designerperspective.png" width="1000" height="800">
<p>The purpose of this perspective is to hold the windows that are
used in building a <a

that you will then run. You can also use it to start an existing
simulation.
<p>To start an existing simulation, select the <a
href="../views/scenarioview.html">Scenario View</a>. It will show an
existing projects and if you select a project, it will display the <a

that project. Double click the <a
href="../../concepts/modelingframework.html#scenario"> Scenario</a> to
select it and start the simulation running. STEM will automatically
switch to the <a href="simulation.html">Simulation Perspective</a>.
