submodels.index file

When a submodel must be set for an icon of a sketch, Simcenter Amesim Run goes through the directories of the path list looking for submodels.index files which are opened and read. At the end of the process, the suitable submodels are listed for the selected icon. An example of a piece of submodels.index file is given below:
