[Project](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_project.xhtml "Base class for Project API, also see SimProject.") storage settings, control folder management, folder names, etc.

Default policies:

- Managed project (a project folder is created and managed aside the project file)
- [Project](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_project.xhtml "Base class for Project API, also see SimProject.") folder suffix: .cffdb
- [Project](classansys_1_1_project_1_1_project.xhtml "Base class for Project API, also see SimProject.") lock: disabled
