Models, model set and settings - how does it fit together?

If you want to use a model for model matching (mm{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} ) you need to add it to the model set. Only models in the model set will be used for model matching. If you install/uninstall models on your disk you might need to update your model set (whentoupdatems{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} ).

1. How does swift know where my models are installed? =======================================================

If you do NOT know where to place (install) your models, see xpmodeldirectories{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} . You can change the simulator directories as described here: modeldirectories{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} . Please understand that changing these settings values does not automatically change your model set!

2. What are the model directories are used for? The model list! ===============================================================

Depending on the model directories you can create a list of all your models installed, this can be done

• in the wizard here

  • the model list here you can display via display
  • the models here are NOT the model set, the model set is a subset of those models you want to use for matching
  • the list here is the SAME list as in the mapping tool

• or the mapping tool, see createms{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}

3. The model set ================

The model set is a list of those models you want to use for matching: matching{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} .

• you can create your model set in the wizard by selecting the distributors list

  • this picks those models from your model list (see above) and adds it to the model set
  • in this step we do not care about the simulator settings, only the list generated is considered

• the model set can also be generated in the mapping tool

  • you can do much more things in the mapping tool, e.g. arbitrarily mixing models from distributors, see examplemsbbxcsl{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}
  • Here is shown how to update or re-create your model set, see addtoms{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} and createms{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}

• Hint:: If you use models of multiple providers in your set, we recommend to remove duplicates, see modelsetduplicates{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} and examplemsbbxcsl{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} .

4. Why do we need all this?

modelset{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}
