Open a Model in Gen Studio

Open a model and display its contents in the Navigator view of CA Gen Studio.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, All Programs, CA, Gen xx, Gen Studio.

    Note: xx refers to the current release of CA Gen. For the current release number, see the Release Notes.

  2. Select a perspective to open the model.

    Note: You can open the perspective before or after you open the model.

  3. Click File, Open Model.
  4. Browse to the directory that stores the model and select the ief0000.dat file.
  5. Click Open.

    The model and its contents are available for viewing in the Navigator view. Expand the model in the Navigator view to view its contents.

Important! Open the model first in Toolset so that it supports 64K strings. You can then open the model in Gen Studio.

Note: If a model is loaded in CA Gen Studio but is closed in the Navigator view, you can open it by right-clicking the model in the Navigator view and selecting Open Model from the pop-up menu. You can open multiple models simultaneously. Alternatively, double-click the model to open it.

You can open a model in Toolset and CA Gen Studio simultaneously but the model is read-only in one of them. If you open a model in CA Gen Studio first and then open the same model in Toolset, the model is editable in CA Gen Studio and read-only in Toolset. To work on a model in Toolset, close the model in CA Gen Studio before opening it in Toolset.
