How to connect to SSAS instance from SSMS?

Question

I have recently installed full sql server 2008 (trial version), for doing a research on SSAS. I created a SSAS project (with sqlserver business intelligence studio), deployed locally (where sql server instance is) with success.

The problem is that I dont see it in databases list with SSMS.

Is there a special way to connect to SSAS instance? Because looking at link text I see SSMS opened with other structure in object explorer.

创建连接（文件->连接对象资源管理器）时，只需确保在“服务器类型”下拉列表中选择了Analysis Services ，而不是在数据库引擎中 。
