Widgets allow you to define a custom dynamic chart, like monthly energy use. Each time you use a widget on your project it will update with the results of the current model simulation.
When you first use Project Solon, data from a sample project (Autodesk Benchtop Commercial Office Project) is automatically associated with sample widgets and any new widgets you may create.
