SQL Server Management Studio or SSMS is a tool that allows administrators to manage SQL Server instances and perform administration tasks. SSMS is not installed as part of the PTC Modeler installation. To use SSMS, you should download and set it up on the PTC Modeler SQL Server instance. For a list of all supported versions of SQL Server, see the Release Notes document.
If your PTC Modeler installation uses the default MODELER instance, you can add SSMS as an additional feature.
