| - | Local submodels are stored in a folder based on the model name. If the model containing the local submodel is named ''simulation model.egoml'', its local submodels will be stored in a subfolder called ''simulation model_egoml_Submodels''. Basically, the name construction algorithm just replaces "." with "_" and appends "_Submodels" to the name. | + | Local submodels are stored in a folder based on the model name.

Basically, the name construction algorithm just replaces "." with "_" and appends "_Submodels" to the name. Using a unique submodel folder for each model guarantees that submodels from one model are completely independent from the submodels from any other model. Local submodels can also be defined in a folder called "Submodels" located in the same folder where the model file is located, and shared shared among all the models located in that folder. However, the folder is automatically converted into an unique submodel folder when the model is saved by the graphical interface. |

| Local submodels can be created by simply selecting the parts of a model that will be converted to a submodel and choosing the menu Edit => Create Submodel. The selection will be replaced by the new submodel and the visual representation of the new submodel will be available to be edited as a new tab on the script editor. | Local submodels can be created by simply selecting the parts of a model that will be converted to a submodel and choosing the menu Edit => Create Submodel.
