Loading Model Parameters

You can load model parameters that you have created and saved in a previous session of Dynamic Shells. When you load the model parameters, you also load all of the shells that you created for the model.

The model parameters file contains the settings required to run the estimation you used in a previous session. It does not contain the data. This means that for the parameters file to recreate the model, you must be connected to the database, in the GMP, that contains the data you used in the original estimation.

When you load model parameters, you are asked whether you want to Overwrite the current models, or Append the loaded models. If you choose to Overwrite, all of the models that are listed in the Navigator are deleted, and the loaded models are added to the cleared Navigator. If you choose to Append , the models that are listed in the Navigator are kept and the loaded models are added to the end of the list.

To load a model parameters file:

  1. Choose File > Load Model Parameters.
  2. Navigate to the .xml file that you want to load.
  3. Click Open.
  4. Choose to either Overwrite, or Append the models.
  5. The estimation is run and the model , and its shells, appear in the Navigator and are displayed in Graphics.
