Appendix A Used file types

The following list shows the file types used in WinDali:

Name / Extension	Content
*.ppr	A model file. Contains among other things a list of the pascal
	source-code files included in a model.
*.pp,*.pas	Pascal source-code files.These files contains the model and
	other code. The model file binds these files together.
*.inc	Include files used by the *.pp and *.pas files.
*.ppw, *.ow, *.cfg, *.err	Files created during compilation. These files can safely be
	deleted.
*.mdl	Compiled model file. Ready to use in the simulation program.
*.sol	File containing a solver, which can be used by WinDali.
*.set	Settings file created by the Simulation program. Is used when
	settings and parameters for a simulation are saved.
nonlinerr.txt	File created if you use the external static equation solver and
	an error occurs. You can safely delete this file.

Appendix B Files and directories created during installation 89

Appendix B Files and directories created during installation

All programs in WinDali are enabled to run in mult-user environments – and also on PC's where the user is not logged in as administrator. This means that all files/directories where the user should have write access are placed in the user's profile.

All files in the basic installation directory (default c:\WinDali) can be regarded as read-only.

During installation WinDali creates the following directories:

All Users\Application Data\IPU\WinDali\Lib

All Users\Application Data\IPU\WinDali\Templates

where " All Users\Application Data" is the path to the users application data directory, normally something like c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data

Note that this directory is hidden as default, so if you want to browse it, you should enable "Show hidden files and folders" in Windows Explorer, and press <Apply to All Folders> (Select Tools|Folder Options menu and go to the View tab within Windows Explorer).

As default new models are created in the \CurrentUser\My Douments\Models folder and the demos are placed in the All users\Douments\Models\Demo folder (during installation a link to the demo folder will be placed in the \CurrentUser\My Douments\Models folder).

You can easily change the default model folder, in the Model Editor and the Simulation Interface program (in both cases go to the Tools|Environment Options menu).

When you run WinDali, all internally used setting files will be placed in the

\CurrentUser\Application Data\IPU\WinDali\ folder.
