Opening a New Working Directory from the GUI

The System Coupling GUI provides you with the ability to switch to a new working directory without closing the GUI instance, regardless of whether a solution is already running in the current working directory. To do so, perform the following steps:

  1. Select File > Open.

    • If there are unsaved changes in the current working directory, then System Coupling displays a dialog asking if you want to save them. Indicate whether the changes should be saved.

    • If a solution is already running in the current working directory, then System Coupling displays a dialog indicating that a run is in progress and that you can reconnect to it later. Click Continue to close the dialog.

    The Select working directory dialog opens.

  2. Navigate to the working directory to be opened, select the directory, and click Select Folder.

    • The specified working directory opens in the GUI. The Command Console tab is cleared of any content from the coupled analysis in the previous working directory.

    • If a coupled analysis has already been run in the new directory, then System Coupling restarts the analysis, as described in Restarting a Coupled Analysis in the GUI.

    • If a solution was already running in the original working directory, then it continues to run after the new working directory is opened.
