The Generate SimModel Files dialog
Summary
The Generate SimModel Files dialog provides controls that are necessary to create source SimModel file(s).
Access
From the schematic library editor or a standard Database Library (*.DbLib), click Tools » Generate SimModel Files from the main menus.
Options/Controls
Use the options to determine file generation. By default, a sub-folder named Sim Models will be created. Change this naming to something more suitable as required. If the nominated folder exists, it will be the one used; if not, it will be created.
- Specify the destination for output files - select where the generated files are to be stored from one of the following options:
- In a sub-folder of the original library - the location in which the source Database Library resides.
- In the specified directory - select to specify a folder. When selected, use the browse folder icon to search for and select the desired folder.
- Overwrite existing files – overwrite existing SimModel files with the same name when new files are generated.
- Create folder for each library file – enable this option to store generated SimModel files in a sub-folder named using the source name. This is beneficial if releasing to a target directory that already contains previously released SimModel files.
- Explore generated SimModel files – enable to open an instance of Windows Explorer that shows the folder containing the generated SimModel files.
- OK - click to process with generation. A confirmation dialog appears when the process is complete stating how many SimModel files were generated. Any referenced
.mdl,.ckt, or.scbfiles will also be stored alongside the SimModel files.
