SIMPROCESS Features

Model Bundling

A model bundle file contains a SIMPROCESS model along with the model’s directory and any associated metamodels (SIMPROCESS Metadata Manual) and Dashboards (Chapter 16). Model bundle files facilitate sharing SIMPROCESS models since the bundle, in most instances, will contain all the files needed to display and run the model.

The Bundle menu item on the File menu contains two options: Create and Extract. Create builds a model bundle file, and Extract extracts a model bundle file and opens the enclosed model.

A model bundle file contains a SIMPROCESS model along with its directory. The bundled model directory will contain the complete contents of the original model directory. In addition, the model bundle file may contain the following:

• Assigned metamodels
• Assigned Dashboards
• Files referenced by the model that were not in the original model directory

Exclusions from the model bundle may be found in chapter 17 of the User's Manual.
