You can convert a localized Container An element that acts like a "box" or a "folder" into which other elements can be placed. It can be used to create hierarchical models. to a normal (global) Container in two ways:
- By selecting Globalize from the context menu for the element in the graphics pane The primary portion of the GoldSim interface, where the graphical depiction of the model is shown. or a browser An alternative view of a GoldSim model, in which elements are displayed in a tree, and organized either hierarchically, or by type. (accessed via a right-click); or
- By clearing the Localization checkbox on the Container's property dialog.
When you do this, GoldSim first checks to ensure that none of the elements in the Container will conflict with (i.e., have the same name as) other elements in the scope The portion of a model from which an element's output can be referenced. You cannot reference an element in a different scope unless that output is specifically exposed. into which the Container's contents will be placed when it was globalized. If it finds a conflict, it will not globalize the Container, and will issue a warning message. You will not be able to globalize the Container until all of the conflicts are eliminated (i.e., until all conflicting elements are renamed).
