2.2.1 File Menu

Figure 2.4: File Menu in ANSYS DesignModeler

Refresh Input: The Refresh Input command forces DesignModeler to refresh upstream input data.
Upstream input data can come from a Provides-To connection supplying data to the geometry cell or
parameter changes made in ANSYS Workbench that have not yet been consumed by the
DesignModeler application's editor. The Refresh menu item is not applicable when there are no
upstream changes to consume.

Start Over: Available only in the ANSYS Workbench mode, use the Start Over option to begin a new
model. Note that your model name is retained.
Load DesignModeler Database: his option provides a quick way to load a different file into
DesignModeler. It is equivalent to closing DesignModeler (but without the saving that would happen
here), clicking the right mouse button on the Geometry cell and choosing Replace Geometry, selecting
a DesignModeler file, and then choosing to “Edit” it. You should either select Save Project, or Export
your current file if you do not want to lose changes to the current model before using this option (you
are asked if you want to discard the current model). Then, once you choose a new file (must end in the
.agdb extension), then the current file is closed and the new one is loaded. This is done without closing
and reopening the DesignModeler session, so it is much quicker.
