Configuring Simcenter Client for Git

In this section, we assume that Simcenter System Simulation Client for Git is already installed on your machine. You can refer to the Simcenter System Simulation Client for Git documentation for more information on installation.

Simcenter Amesim / Client for Git compatibility

Simcenter System Simulation Client for Git 2021.2.2 is the first version which will likely support future Simcenter Amesim versions. However the Client for Git client version must be the same as the Client for Git server version.

Configuring the Simcenter Client for Git

You configure the Simcenter Client for Git in the Simcenter Amesim Preferences > Model management tab.
