Projects

Group studies, simulations, parameterized models, and optimizations into focused research initiatives within an organization

Projects

Projects are high-level containers that help you organize related research efforts in Ionworks. Think of them as folders for different initiatives, research areas, or client work.

What is a Project?

A project groups together all the work related to a specific research area or objective. For example:

• New Electrolyte Development - Testing different electrolyte formulations
• Customer X Cell Performance - Analysis work for a specific client
• Next-Gen Anode Materials - Research on new electrode materials

Project Structure

├── Studies
│   └── Simulations
├── Optimizations
└── Battery Cycler Simulator

What You Can Do

Build

• Link Cell Specifications - Associate organization cells with your project
• Create Parameterized Models - Build ready-to-run simulation engines

Simulate

• Create Studies - Set up focused investigations
• Run Simulations - Execute battery simulations with various conditions
• Visualize Results - Compare and analyze simulation outputs
• Test Commercial Protocols - Upload and simulate Maccor, Neware, or Novonix files

Optimize

• Run Optimizations - Automatically find optimal parameters for cell design or charging protocols
• Compare Results - See baseline vs. optimized performance

Key Features

Data Sharing

All cells and models linked to a project are available throughout that project. Results from one study can be viewed and compared in others.

Smart Simulation Reuse

Ionworks automatically detects duplicate simulations and reuses existing results, saving time and compute resources.

Collaboration

All projects are accessible to organization members. Access is managed by organization-level roles and permissions.

Getting Started

A “Default” project is automatically created when you join. To create additional projects:

1. Navigate to the Projects page
2. Click “New Project”
3. Give it a descriptive name

Next Steps

• Learn about Studies for running simulations
• Try Optimization to find optimal parameters
