In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

Load model and result files
Load various solver result formats

Tools

To access the Load Model panel:

Click the Open Model button fileOpenModel-24 on the Standard toolbar.

OR

From the File menu select Open > Model.

The Load Model panel allows you to load the result files along with the model files.  If the result file already contains the model definition, it is not a requirement that you load the model file along with the results.  However when only result files are loaded, the component definitions such as name and color are not preserved.  The solver definition for component names along with the default color settings are loaded.  You can also choose to load only a model or result file.

Activating the Overlay check box allows you to load multiple models and their results into a single window.  The last model you load automatically becomes the current model.  To make a previous model the current one, you must manually set it as your current model. From the Results Browser, right-click on the name of the model file that you would like to set as the current model, and select Make Current from the context menu.
