The input data for a STEM model called SIMPLE are saved in a file called
simple.dtl
(and also in binary form in a file called
simple.dtm). When the model is run, STEM stores the subsequent results in a file called
simple.smr
– the results file
– and then automatically loads these results into the STEM Results program. Only a small part of the results file is actually loaded into memory – the actual data are retrieved from the file as required. Results workspaces and views are saved in a file called
simple.smw.
The STEM Results program can be customised through the use of configuration files. Usually STEM automatically loads the default configuration from a file called
default.cnf, but you can save changes to this file or save/load other configurations with the File/Open and Save Config commands. (In particular, when you first run a model called SIMPLE, STEM will load
simple.cnf instead of default.cnf, if you have saved a special configuration for that model.)
The set of results files loaded into STEM (which may be from potentially multiple models), together with the current configuration, can be saved as a results
workspace. This workspace can be opened later as a shorthand for opening the results and configuration files separately. Workspace files have the extension .smw.
