SAM's File menu provides access to commands for managing projects and scripts, and opening the inputs browser. See Keyboard Shortcuts for additional functions.

New project Create a new project file using default input values. SAM opens a project with a single case and no results. New script Open the script editor for a new new LK script. Open project Open an existing SAM project file (.sam) file. Open script Open an existing script file (.lk) in the script editor. Save Save the project as a SAM (.sam) file in its current location. This option saves annual and monthly results, but does not save hourly results to minimize the size of the file. When you open the file after closing it you will need to run a simulation to view hourly data on the Results page. Save As Save the project as a SAM (.sam) file in a different location or with a new name. Save with hourly results Save the project as a SAM (.sam) file in its current location, and include hourly results. Use this option if you want hourly data to be available on the Results page when you or someone else next open the file after closing it. Import cases Import one or more cases from another .sam project file. Inputs browser The inputs browser lists all of the input variables for all cases in the project file. You can use the browser to export a list of input variables and their values to CSV files, and to compare input variables across cases in your file. Close Close the project without exiting SAM or saving a file. SAM displays the Welcome page when you close a project. Quit Close the project and exit SAM without saving a file. |
