Opening models

Use the following procedure to open an existing model.

Note: Opening an iThink or STELLA model that was created in a previous version will automatically translate the model so that it is compatible with version 10. In some cases, the translation requires additional manual updates to the model. For more information, see www.iseesystems.com/translation.

To open a model

  1. From the File menu, choose Open, or press CTRL+O (Windows) or Command+O (Mac).

    Note: If you are opening a model created with a version of iThink or STELLA prior to Version 10, a message appears that tells you the model will be converted to Version 10 format (.ITMX or .STMX). Click OK to convert the model.

    If you already have a model open in the iThink/STELLA window, a message appears that asks you if you want to save changes to the currently open model.

  2. Select whether or not you want to save changes to the currently open model.

    The Open dialog box opens.

  3. Navigate to and select the model file that you want to open.

  4. Click Open.

    The model you selected opens in the iThink/STELLA window.
