Can't open Data Model File in Xcode

Question

Using MacOS Sierra(10.12.1 (16B2555)) and Xcode 8.1(8B62). Created a new Project without selecting "Use Core Data". Now when I create a new Data Model, I can't open it in Xcode editor.

Even if I right click, Open As-> doesn't show any option.

I had a look at this question, but the answer doesn't help me.

I have deleted and re-added file, even re-generated the data model. I have cleaned project and build folder. Also committed to source control and then retried. Even restarted Xcode and Mac, but nothing seems to be working.

How can I use Core Data in my project now?

This works perfectly in my setup with Xcode 8.1 (8B62). How are you adding the file? — Mundi, Nov 20 '16 at 11:55
New->File->Core Data Model, Its working fine for other projects of mine too. — saurabh, Nov 20 '16 at 11:56
Strange, in my Xcode version it says "Data Model" not "Core Data Model". — Mundi, Nov 20 '16 at 11:57
It says "Data Model" in mine too, I just wanted to point out its in section "Core Data". — saurabh, Nov 20 '16 at 11:58
Here is another idea. Maybe one of your other files or frameworks uses something called "User"? Could you try with a different model name? — Mundi, Nov 20 '16 at 12:00

You could try open the package contents of xcdatamodeld, drag out the file inside with the same name and use it instead. I had the same problem and thanks to this answer solved it.
