Model Editor File-based Design Import

The FBDI tool allows to import V4 data into V6. This document provides information on how V4 features are migrated in V6.

In version 6, a V4 feature such as a .model, has been renamed. The table below provides a list of the terminology changes made between version 5 and version 6 and it also provides information about the migration status of V4 features:

V5 V6
model Migrated as a Representation; it contains the same information as the models. No modification of data during migration (except the name of the model). The model used as a representation in the V5 Product Structure is imported as an instantiated Representation.
session Not migrated
library Not migrated
MML Links Migrated. Workaround - it is recommended to import first the pointed documents, and then the pointing documents within the same session.

The following pictures illustrate what you obtain in V6 - the model is migrated in V6 without any data modification, except its name:

V5 V6
