GoldSim was designed to facilitate the incorporation of add-on modules (program extensions) to enable the program to address specialized systems. These modules add additional features and capabilities to GoldSim. Your license determines which of these program extensions are available to you.
You can view which modules are available by selecting Model| Options… from the main menu, and selecting the Modules tab:
All extension modules that you are licensed to use appear in the dialog. If your license does not allow you to use a particular module, it will not be listed. You can activate and deactivate modules that you are licensed to use by clicking the Active checkbox. By default, whenever you activate GoldSim, none of the available extension modules allowed by your license will be activated. To use them, you must activate them using this dialog.
If you deactivate a module, the specialized elements associated with that module will be deleted from your model (if any are present) and any menu options will be removed in the current file. If you make a module active, the various options associated with that module are made available again. If you press the Set as Default button, the selected modules will be activated for all new models that are created.
Note: If you try to open a
file that contains elements associated with an extension module, and you are
licensed to use that module but it is not currently active, GoldSim will
automatically activate the module and open the file. If, however, you are not
licensed to use the module, GoldSim will not open the file (and will display an
error message).
