The Main Window

You can access the main window by double-clicking on the Simcenter Amesim blocks. Its main utility is to:

• select the Simcenter Amesim model with which to interface,

• start tool windows.

This window contains a toolbar containing five icons:

Icon	Function	Description
	Open file	Select the Simcenter Amesim model with which to interface. The file selected is the mex file produced by Simcenter Amesim.
	Run parameters	Open the Run parameters window.
	Model parameters	Open the Model parameters window.
	Enable/Disable inputs and outputs	Inputs and outputs management.
	Create black-box mask	Create a Black-Box. This is only available for the standard interface.

The window aslo contains the following:

• The Update model button, which you can use to load the Simcenter Amesim model. It can be used at anytime, and is very useful when the Simcenter Amesim model has been modified and needs to be updated in Simulink.

• An edit box to set the name of the Simcenter Amesim model with which to interface. This is an alternative method to using the File open icon for selecting the Simcenter Amesim model.
