beside an existing simulation tab on the Canvas, and then select the simulation template
that you want to use for the new simulation.
Note: Since the Repository you are working in may be accessible by a number of users, it is important to ensure that you do not delete a simulation which other users have open or need without first notifying them.
Example: Renaming a simulation
-
Open the File menu on the application ribbon.
-
Select the simulation that you want to rename.
-
Select Rename, enter the new name of the simulation, and press Enter.
You can also rename a simulation by selecting the simulation tab at the top of the Canvas or renaming the parent node in the Simulation Manager hierarchy.
When you rename a simulation, the new name will automatically be visible in the Repository Manager. As a result, it is important to communicate the new name to other users contributing to the simulation.
