Sharing custom simulations

You can share simulations with external stakeholders, such as investors, lenders, or other parties involved in financing your renewable energy projects. Recipients do not need a Tensor Cloud user account.

How to share a simulation

You can share a simulation from the simulation list, with the Share button on the right of each row, or from the simulation results page, with the Share button at the top right of the screen.

Enter or paste the recipients' email addresses and send the invitation through Tensor Cloud. Choose the language of the invitation email, Japanese or English, in the Invitation language dropdown next to the Send invite button.

Recipients receive an email with a link to the simulation and authenticate with their email address to open it.

Revoking access to a simulation

To revoke access for one recipient, click the Revoke access button to the right of their email address. To revoke access for everyone, click Revoke access for all at the bottom of the share dialog. Revoking access invalidates the link sent to the recipient, and they can no longer view the simulation.

Setting up access expiration

By default, recipients keep access to a simulation until you revoke it. To limit access to a set period, turn on the Set access expiry toggle at the bottom of the share dialog and choose an expiration date.

Access for all recipients is then revoked at midnight Japan Standard Time on that date. You cannot set an automatic expiration for individual recipients.

Security considerations

When you share a simulation, you share a snapshot of the financial and technical performance of the included assets at the time the simulation was created. Recipients cannot edit or reshare the simulation, but they can download the results as an Excel or PDF file, print the page, or take screenshots.

Tensor Cloud shares simulations through magic links: the recipient receives an email with a link to the simulation. The link is bound to the recipient's email address, so if they forward the invitation to someone else, the link does not work unless that person authenticates with the original recipient's email address.

We consider this a best practice for sharing sensitive information with external stakeholders. Still, always double-check the email addresses you share simulations with, and set an access expiration whenever you can. If you have questions or concerns, contact Tensor support.
