Overview
End-to-end walkthroughs
Tutorials are complete, end-to-end walkthroughs. Each one takes a single project from an empty Globe to an optimized, reviewed, exported plan — the full arc you would run in a real engagement. Where a guide answers one narrow question, a tutorial shows you how every part of Nexma fits together on a concrete problem.
What a tutorial gives you
Every tutorial follows the same shape, so once you have done one you can read any of the others quickly:
- Create a project and bind the right Ontology and Skill.
- Load real spatial data through Nexma SyncEngine, or draw it on the Globe.
- Design with Jax in plain language.
- Optimize with Nexma MathEngine and validate against the Skill's constraints.
- Review on the Globe and branch the DataStore to explore a what-if.
- Operate — export, schedule, or hand the plan off.
You will finish with a working artifact, not a toy. The same steps scale from a single neighborhood to a municipal program.
Prerequisites
Before you start any tutorial, you should have:
- An account in an organization. See Quickstart if you do not yet.
- A rough idea of the area you want to work in — a neighborhood, a service zone, a route region. You can also use the example areas each tutorial suggests.
- Optional but useful: a data feed connected through Nexma SyncEngine (addresses, parcels, existing assets). Each tutorial shows how to proceed with or without one.
No coding is required. No GIS background is assumed beyond the domain concepts each tutorial explains as it goes.
Available tutorials
| Tutorial | Domain | What you will learn |
|---|---|---|
| Plan an FTTH network | Fiber | Route feeder and distribution fiber, respect splitter ratios and optical budget, cost-optimize the trench layout, branch a what-if, export to a vendor format. |
| Design a water network | Water | Place a source, size and route pressurized mains, validate pressure and head with simulation, optimize pipe class, branch an alternative. |
| Optimize a delivery fleet | Logistics | Build optimal vehicle routes under time windows and capacity (VRP), compare scenarios on the Globe, and schedule a daily re-optimization. |
| Monitor an area of interest | Imagery | Define an AOI, task fresh imagery with SatelliteEngine, run detection and change detection with InsightEngine, and set an alert automation. |
How to choose
If you want to learn the platform end to end, start with Plan an FTTH network — it is the most complete and exercises the most engines. If your work is routing, jump to Optimize a delivery fleet. If you live in imagery and monitoring rather than network design, go straight to Monitor an area of interest.
