You can export any portion of a model as a submodel for import into other models. Input data is also stored in the file that is created in the process of Exporting a Submodel. This input data will be imported following a label-matching strategy for any element, alternative, scenario, calculation option or supporting data in the submodel. For more information about input data transfer, see Importing a Submodel.
