These general recommendations are a set of best practices to follow when managing and using software tools such as CYPE programs, helping you optimise your time and safeguard your work.
- Back up your files regularly. For greater security, store backup copies on different physical media. The interval between backups should be determined according to your needs, ensuring that any potential data loss does not compromise your workflow.
- Keep your model only as detailed as necessary for the level of accuracy required and the capabilities of the software. Otherwise, you may spend time on unnecessary work that adds little value and may even reduce the efficiency of the software's calculations.
- When learning to use the software, start with simple models to become familiar with its features and limitations. Once you are comfortable with them, you can move on to more complex models. Starting with complex models straight away may lead to unexpected situations that require greater experience to resolve.
- Keep the program installed in the version used to create the model if you think you may need to view or edit the file at some point under the same conditions in which it was created.
- Adjust working hours to allow for the time needed to resolve IT issues and to make the necessary adjustments to the model.
