Deleting an Approximation

If you no longer need an approximation, you can permanently remove it from Isight from the Design Gateway or the Runtime Gateway.

Note: If you want to disable an approximation and prevent it from executing at run time, you can deactivate the approximation (see Visualizing Approximations).

Important: If you are selecting a component that is in a Task Plan, you must select the component using the model explorer.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • From the Design Gateway,

      1. Select the component for which you want to create an approximation:
        • Select a component on the Sim-flow tab or in the model explorer, and click the Approximations button on the component title bar.
        • Right-click the component on the Sim-flow tab or in the model explorer, and select Approximations.

        The Approximations dialog box appears.

      2. In the Activated column, select the approximation that you want to delete.
      3. Click Delete.

        A warning message appears prompting if you want to delete the approximation.

      4. Click OK.

        Isight deletes the approximation.

      5. Click Close to exit the Approximations dialog box and to return to the Design Gateway.

    • From the Runtime Gateway,

      1. Select a component on the Sim-flow tab or in the model explorer.
      2. Click the Visual Design tab, and select the approximation from the list next to the component title bar.

        A warning message appears.

      3. Click OK.

        The approximation is deleted and is no longer accessible from the Approximations dialog box.

  2. If desired, continue deleting approximations.
