Creating the Model and Adding a Component

You start the example by creating a model and adding the Simcode component using the Design Gateway.

There are separate files for Windows operating systems and Linux. The Linux files are located within subdirectories of the directories specified in this procedure.

  1. Start the Isight Design Gateway, if it is not already running.

    For more information on how to start the Design Gateway, see Accessing the Design Gateway.

  2. From the Design Gateway File menu, select New (Default).

    A new model is created with the default (Task) component.



  3. Click the Application Components tab.

    The currently loaded application components are shown on the component palette.

  4. Drag-and-drop the Simcode icon onto the line on the simulation process flow canvas.

    The Simcode component executes an external program from within an Isight model. The program’s input is one or more files. Parameter values are written to the files to allow the model to vary the inputs. Similarly, the program’s output consists of one or more files. Values are read from these files and stored in parameters so they can be used in other parts of the model.

    Isight adds the Simcode component to the simulation process flow.
