Account Limits & Cloud Saving

R-THYM is a modern, fully cloud-native application. Unlike legacy engineering tools, you never have to worry about losing local .inp files, managing version conflicts, or dealing with fragmented data. All your network models are securely stored in our cloud infrastructure.

However, because the platform is currently in Public Beta, there are some account limitations you should be aware of before you begin building your own networks.

Public Beta Account Limits

To ensure high performance and stability for all users during the beta period, free accounts are subject to the following constraints:

• 2 Projects Maximum: Your account can hold up to 2 active projects simultaneously. If you try to save a third project, the system will prompt you to delete an older project from your Dashboard first.
• 20 Objects per Project: You can draw up to 20 hydraulic components (pipes, pumps, nodes, tanks, valves, etc.) within a single project. This limit is generous enough to build meaningful benchmark models, lift stations, and surge tanks, but restricts massive city-wide networks.

Need More Capacity?
We are actively seeking feedback on how R-THYM handles larger, more complex transient models! If you are an early beta tester and want to try out a larger project, please reach out to us at jason@lillywhitewater.com. For a limited time, we will happily lift these account constraints for you in exchange for your feedback on the platform's performance and usability.

Saving Your Work

Because R-THYM runs entirely in your web browser, it behaves slightly differently than standard desktop software:

• Unsaved Workspaces: When you first start a "New Project" or open an "Example Model", it exists entirely in your browser's temporary memory.
• Saving to the Cloud: To commit your work to your account, click File -> Save (or press Ctrl+S). The entire network topology, physical properties, and control logic is serialized and securely pushed to your cloud dashboard.
• Save As / Duplicating: If you want to experiment with a model without risking your original design, use File -> Save As.... This will duplicate the project, but remember—this consumes one of your 2 available project slots!

Exporting Your Data

Even though R-THYM manages everything in the cloud, you are never locked in. If you ever need to use a legacy solver or share a static file with a colleague, you can navigate to File -> Export as EPANET (.inp) to instantly download your network topology as a standard industry file.

With these limits and mechanics in mind, you are officially ready to start drawing!
