Saving and loading global parameters

Saving global parameters

Loading global parameters

When a list of global parameters is set for a Simcenter Amesim model, it is possible to save it in a file (in order to have a backup copy of it) or to load it into another model.

Saving global parameters

Procedure

1. Right-click in the Global Parameters Setup dialog box and select Save all from the contextual menu.

A file browser opens.

2. Browse to select a location in which to save the .gpl file.

Results

All the global parameters (and their groups, if present) will be saved.

You can also save a subset of your global parameters. To do this, use the Ctrl key on your keyboard to select the global parameters that you wish to save and select Save selection.

When you load the saved global parameters (for example, in a new system), the selected global parameters are created (with their parent groups, if applicable).

Skip: the currently listed duplicate global parameter is not changed.

Overwrite all: any duplicate global parameters present are overwritten with the values contained in the file you are loading

Skip all: any duplicate global parameters present are not overwritten.
