Step 1: Starting a New Project

When you first open BERT, you'll be presented with a blank canvas containing a main system circle.

  1. This circle represents your system of interest

  2. Notice the subtle gray ring around the system - this shows your system boundary

  3. You can begin working immediately with this blank system

  4. If you want to open an existing project instead, press Ctrl+L

The gray boundary ring helps you visualize where your system ends and its environment begins. As you zoom in and out (using = and - keys), this boundary stays properly positioned with your system.
