Welcome to PEN 2.2  - UPDATE 2.2.7

PEN is the Project Explorer for NEES. It is a java tool intended to run on a remote workstation or in the hub. The primary purpose of PEN is to organize files and directories for upload and download with the NEES Project Warehouse while a project is in active development.

Release notes for PEN can be found here.

THERE IS A NEW PEN QUICK START GUIDE.  Please click here.

To start PEN on a local workstation or laptop, click on the appropriate download button below. To start PEN as a hub tool, click on the  Launch Tool button above.   Use the hub version only if you want to upload or download project files to the NEEShub tool environment.  Most people will use a local workstation version of PEN.

PEN works on a single NEES project at a time. PEN helps you organize a local directory tree according to the NEES project data model.  It also provides an interface to edit object information including Title and Description.  An object is either a project, experiment, simulation, trial, run, repetition, directory or file.    PEN allows you to upload or download individual files or entire objects.

If this is your first time using PEN, it is recommended that you visit this PEN Quick Start Guide.  

PEN is in active development by NEEScomm IT. NEEScomm IT is soliciting your feedback to improve PEN.  NEEScomm has dedicated resources that will continue to develop and support PEN.. Problems will be addressed using the NEEShub ticket system.
