Toolbar (Concrete Section)

Each button in the toolbar represents a tool. The handling is often quicker and easier if the tools are used. The toolbar (toolbox) itself is a window and can therefore be moved and changed in size.
The user activates tools by clicking with the mouse on the chosen button. The cursor’s appearance will now change to that of the chosen tool. The toolbar contains the following commands:

1. New
   Starts a new example.
2. Open
   Retrieves input data from a previous calculation. A list on saved input data files (files that end with *.ccd) is shown.
3. Save
