A Source model consists of two parts - a project and one or more scenarios. A project is a wrapper for a collection of one or more scenarios. It identifies the project name, description, and any scenarios associated with the project. You can only have one project file open at a time and you should not open the same project file using more than one copy of Source.

Note: You must upgrade a project if it was created in Source v3.1.0 or earlier. If you open these projects in later versions of Source, an error message (shown in Figure 4) will appear prompting you to save in v3.1.0. Follow the steps outlined in the dialog to automatically upgrade the project to the current version of Source. Figure 4. Opening a project, error |
Copying a scenario
You can duplicate existing scenarios as a whole, provided they are part of the same project. You may want to do this if you wish to experiment with variations without affecting your original scenario.
...
The new (copied) scenario will be a duplicate of the original at the time of the copy.
Figure 5. Copy Scenario
Renaming a scenario
Source automatically gives new scenarios the default name of "Scenario #n" , where n is a number. To rename a scenario:
- Select the scenario in the Project Hierarchy; and
- Once the scenario name is selected, pause then click again. When the entry is highlighted, you can enter a new name. Remember that scenario names must be unique within a project.
Linking scenarios
You can link two scenarios using a Connecting Models. Note that some components of the first scenario may not pass on to the second, linked scenario.

When copying a partial scenario, the effect on each network element is different. The section outlines what you must be aware of when copying some parts of a scenario.
