Ventity™ Files and Folders

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When you create a new model (named, say, "AntFarm") Ventity creates the following files and folders:

 

AntFarm\

Folder containing all model files

   AntFarm.vmdl

Main model document

   Data\

Subfolder for time series and initialization data

   DataSourceMappings\

Subfolder for data maps

   EntityTypes\

Subfolder for entity type definitions

       AntFarm.vent

Definition file for the default entity type

       Model.vent

Definition file for the model entity type

   Results\

Subfolder for saved simulation output (runs). Initially empty.

   StyleSheets\

Subfolder for Model Styles library

 

A Ventity model consists of a .vmdl file, in the same directory as an EntityTypes folder, a StaticEntities folder, a StyleSheets folder, and their contents. To run, all these elements must be present. All Ventity files are in text or XML format so projects can be managed in version control systems.

 

Sample models are usually installed in your Documents (or My Documents) folder under Ventity Projects\Sample Projects.

Read-only backups of the sample models are installed in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ventity Projects\Sample Projects.
