How can I view the file generated by the MOOSE Model Builder?

In the toolbar at the top of the NiCE workbench, navigate to File > Open File..., and select the file in your NiCE workspace that you'd like to view. If the file type (.i) is already associated to another program in your operating system, then the file will launch externally in that application. Otherwise, the file should open directly in NiCE's native text editor.

If for any reason the file extension is associated to another application (for example, Xcode on a Mac) and you'd prefer for the file to open within the NiCE workbench, assign the file extension in NiCE using the following steps:

1. Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations
2. In the top box, click Add... and define a file type called *.i (including the wild character). Click OK.
3. Select the new *.i file type entry. In the Associated editors box below, click Add..., and from the list of internal editors, find Text Editor. Click OK.
4. Close the Preferences window by clicking OK.

Using the File > Open File... function should now force any .i files to open within NiCE's native text editor.

Note that this method only overrides your file type association within NiCE, and doesn't impact the file association set on your operating system.
