Description:
- Imports the SBML file. Converts the SBML file to a CI model and opens it in a new canvas.
- The imported SBML models should conform to the specification of SBML, i.e., SBML version 2.1
- After importing the SBML file, it is stored in the CI model and can be saved to a CSML file using the File | Save as command.
- SBML models differ from the CI ones. E.g. SBML uses differential equations for representing relationships between entities, while CI use the Petri Net model. Therefore the conversion process has the following limitations:
o Not all SBML models can be imported to CI
o the simulation results might differ, for a SBML model imported to CI.
- It is recommended to run a simulation after a successful model import to verify whether the results of the converted model are identical to the simulation results of the original CellML model. Before running the simulation, the user should check and set the proper Simulation Time and Sampling Interval in the Simulation Settings dialog box.
Constraints:
- No simulation is running.
