Chapter 5 Managing Models

Closing a model

When you close a model you:

• Close the file linked with the model and consequently release the connection and memory linked with the model file
• Keep the model definition in the working environment and the model node in the Model Explorer tree view

You can close models if you want to free memory in your environment when you are working with large models.

To close a model:

1. Right-click the model.
2. Select Close in the contextual menu.
   
   If the model needs to be saved, a Save dialog box appears.
   
   The node in the Model Explorer tree view is tagged with a red dot.
   
   
   
      Modifying the filename of closed models
   You can easily modify the filename of closed models in the working environment, by right-clicking the closed model in the Model Explorer tree view and selecting Properties from the contextual menu. You can directly modify the filename of the model in the Document Properties dialog box that appears.
