Creating Folders for a Simulation Process

You can create folders to keep your data organized.

You can create simulation folders inside categories, and you can create simulation folders inside existing folders (subfolders).

  1. Open a simulation process.
  2. Hover the mouse over the process details box, and click Content .
    The Content panel appears.
  3. From the Manage list, click Add Folder.

    Note: If a category is not selected, the folder is added to the internal data category.

    A new folder appears under the category.
  4. Click in the folder title to enter a meaningful name.
  5. Click in the Impact column to change the impact of the content (No impact relation, Input, Output, Input/Output).

    You can use the impact attribute to determine when a simulation process is out of date regarding the data that it uses (since the data can be modified externally in some way). The attribute indicates that the simulation process should be executed again to obtain new results.

  6. Click in the Description column to enter a meaningful description for the folder.
  7. Optional: Continue adding folders.

    You can click on a folder to create a subfolder.

  8. Click Close to exit the Content panel.
