File and Data Management

The directory containing the example model files is protected to preserve an original copy of each model file. The typical method of modifying a model file is to use the Save As command and save a copy of it to another directory. You will probably want to create one or more directories, in any terminal window, for storing your model files and data.

Quick access to the example model files is provided with the File > Examples command in the Main window. When you want to open a model file other than one from the examples directory, by default, the path in the dialog box is set to the directory from which you started the program. Double-click to get to the desired directory.
