Setting display settings on model opening

Hello,

I was wondering how to set the display settings (window locations, displaying global tables, GUI appearing without the GUI builder window, etc.) for a model when it is opened.

Thanks

The standard workspace function does not store windows for Global Tables and GUIs as they are model specific. I've included some example code for those in the ModelOpen trigger to open a model control GUI and a Global Table window. I've also created a system to store the standard Flexsim workspace within the model with multiple layouts.

To open a GUI with the model as the view and object focus you use the following syntax: createview(nodetopath(<guinode>),nodetopath(model( )),nodetopath(model))

The model open trigger looks like this:

//Default workspace
openmodelworkspace();

//GUI tied to model control GUI button
applicationcommand("modelcontrolgui");

//Global Table
string tablepath=nodetopath(ownerobject(reftable("GlobalTable50")));
createview("VIEW:/pages/GlobalTable Parameters",tablepath,tablepath);


I've created two user commands to set and open workspaces that are stored in the model's /Tools/Workspaces folder. Using these you can have multiple workspaces by passing in optional workspace name parameters. The setmodelworkspace and openmodelworkspace functions are quick and dirty implementations and setmodelworkspace will probably overwrite any workspace stored in your preferences file on the hard drive, but not those that are currently loaded into the tree. To preserve the values in the file just open the default workspace again before you exit Flexsim and set it under the File->Global Preferences->Environment-> "Save workspace as default".

Excellent, thank you so much!
