View source for Triquetrum/Opening A Model

This page is about how to open a model in [[Triquetrum]].  If you have not yet done so, see [[Triquetrum/Getting Started | Getting Started]].

There are several ways to open a model:

1. Create a project, then copy and paste the model in to Triquetrum. 
 
2. An alternative is to use File -> Open File, which will not add the model to a project (See [https://github.com/eclipse/triquetrum/issues/65 #65 File->Open should be able to open a .tdml file])

3. [[Triquetrum/Importing A Model | Import a model into a project]] (See [https://github.com/eclipse/triquetrum/issues/238 #238 File -> Open File... does not add a file to a project])

Below we create a project, then copy and paste the <code>.tdml</code> file.

1. Download [[File:ICEdemo1.zip | ICEdemo1.zip]] and unzip it.
	
2. In the window system of your operating system copy the <code>ICEdemo1.tdml</code> file.

3. In Triquetrum, create a project.  See [[Triquetrum/Getting Started | Getting Started]].
	
4. In Triquetrum, click on the project and then paste the contents of the copy buffer:

7. To run the model, the value of the <code>filePath</code> parameter must be updated.  To do update the value, hover over the filePath icon and select the configure dialog.
