Define Model Dependencies

When defining a model, model resources identify additional files required for the model to evaluate successfully, for example reference files called by script or linked result files that were generated by other models.

1. In the Define models step, click Model Resources.
2. In the Model Resources dialog, click Add Resource and select the type of resource to add.
   • Add Input Resource adds a file that does not change.
   • Add Link Resource adds a file that changes with each run.
3. In the Select File dialog, navigate to your working directory and open the file to reference.
4. In the Operation column, select an option.
   • None leaves the file as it is, and is used for reference files.
   • Move moves the file into the run directory (this is only available for files of type Link).
   • Copy copies the reference file into the run directory.
   • Write Input is a special case for the resource file for the model (for example, the HyperMesh database for a HyperMesh model type).
5. Click Close.
