Copying (Cloning) an Experience

Instead of creating a new experience, you will find it easier in some cases to copy, or clone, an existing experience and change it to suit your needs. When you copy an experience, everything that is captured by the original experience, such as its simulation process, activities, and data, are also captured by the new copy. However, referenced documents continue to refer to their original documents. The associated type and attribute group from the original experience are inherited by the new experience.


Before you begin: You must have the role of Simulation Methods Developer to copy an experience.
