| release | public release() Releases the COM reference to ModelCenter for this object. |
| releaseObjects | public releaseObjects() This function attempts to release any COM resources left behind from objects which have been finalized but release() was never called on them. |
| rename | public rename(name: String) Rename the assembly |
| setIconID | public setIconID(iconID: Int) Specifies the icon for use with this Assembly. |
