  • Patent number: 9176979
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for defining at least a portion within a simulation modeling file for copying from an original location, thus defining an identified portion. A destination location is defined for the identified portion. A multi-threaded copying procedure is effectuated to copy the identified portion from the original location to the destination location, thus generating a copied portion of the simulation modeling file. The multi-threaded copying procedure utilizes at least two processing threads.
