xxsimOpenModel

 xxsimOpenModel - Opens a 20-sim model.
 sets the opened 20-sim model as active model and assigns it unique identifier.

 Syntax: 
   identifier = xxsimOpenModel(fileName, boolean)

 Inputs:
   fileName = directory path of the model to be opened .
              Note: entering an empty string opens an empty 20-sim editor.

   boolean  = (optional) indicates if a new 20-sim editor should be opened.
              true  - opens model with a new editor.
              false - opens model with an existing editor (Default).

 Outputs:
   identifier = opened 20-sim editors are assigned identifier value (1-based).
                in case of error, 0 is returned.    
    
 Examples:
   identifier = xxsimOpenModel('C:\temp\test.emx',true)
   
      - opens model 'test.emx' with a new 20-sim editor.
