You can add a concept model to Teamwork Cloud (or TWCloud), a new generation of server that is designed to work with large amounts of data. TWCloud provides a modeling repository standard that can be transparently scaled from a single workstation to hundreds of servers. It enables multiple servers to interconnect and share resources. See Teamwork Cloud Documentation for more information.

You must be logged into the server in order to add a concept model to the TWCloud server. Our software has built TWCloud to group projects into categories; hence, you will need to select a category for your concept model when adding it to the server. If you do not select any category, your model will be stored under the Uncategorized category by default. Nevertheless, you are allowed to move your model to another category using Teamwork Cloud Admin (TWAdmin), the user interface of TWCloud. For more information about moving a project category, see Moving projects from one category to another. 


To log into the TWCloud server

  1. Click the main menu Collaborate > Login. The Login dialog opens.



  2. Type your username and password, e.g. Administrator.
  3. Enter the server address, e.g. 10.1.1.123.
  4. From the Server type list, select Teamwork Cloud.
  5. Click OK. You will be connected to the server.

Once you are logged into TWCloud, you can add a concept model to the server. The following instructions use the concept model StereotypeDisjointSample as an example.

A concept model that has been added to TWCloud is saved on the server as a server project. Users with the permission to work on server projects can access the concept model. Before editing the concept model, you first need to lock it to prevent others from editing it at the same time. For more information on locking models for editing, see Locking model for edit.
