After the download is complete:

  • For linux, extract the files from the .tar.gz package to a convenient folder on your system. The modelbuilder executable is in the bin folder.

  • For macOS, open the .dmg package and drag the modelbuilder.app icon to a folder on your system. Because we don’t distribute ModelBuilder for ACE3P through Apple’s App Store, macOS will display warning dialogs when you unpack the .dmg file and start the application for the first time.

  • For Windows, unzip the .zip package to a convenient folder. The modelbuilder executable is in the bin folder.

When you first start ModelBuilder for ACE3P, it looks similar to the ParaView desktop application, with the main differences being that (i) some of the ParaView toolbars have been hidden, and (ii) the left sidebar has two new dock widgets labeled Resources and Attribute Editor, and (iii) there is a new ACE3P project menu.
