What is the proper way to share the model within team?

Hello,

Instead of file and folder sharing from OS level, is there any easy and proper way to share the model I built within team?

While google 'sharing model' with 'flexsim', most URL try to tell me how to share asset in FlexSim model:)

Thank you.

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.2.2

flexsim 20.2.2 sharing

Do you mean to work on the model together as a team?

Not exactly. I'm the modeler, only need team to run the experiments. Thanks.

@Bin Y I would propose a version control system. We use mercurial but Git would also work. Merging models is not so easy but you could use saving as xml as a possible solution, but any way if somebody needs the latest version they just have to update the repository.

Thanks you @steven.hamoen and @James.Rodges.

Only myself will modify the model, but need team have the capability to run the latest experiments upon their convenience. We will only have one license, I hope team could access my latest version without schedule a meeting and sharing my screen.

Seems Express mode and Runtime license along with git or shared folder (read-only) should be sufficient for now.
