Desktop VORSIM (Utilities, Information, Models) Window

When you install VORSIM from the CD, two icons are placed on your Desktop (left): 1. the VORSIM Model Builder icon accesses the VORSIM (Model Builder) program, 2. The VORSIM Window icon opens the Window with utilities, information, and models. The VORSIM Model Builder icon opens the main control screen where models are defined, equations are written, and model workbooks are created. Other control screens (Solution Manager; Report Writer, and Model Manager) and a menu for saved models can be accessed directly from the VORSIM Model Builder control screen or alternatively, directly from their icons in the VORSIM Window. The VORSIM Window contains icons for VORSIM control screens, for utilities, for information about VORSIM and models, and for uninstalling VORSIM. For example, the ‘Duplicate A Model’ Utility Program creates a copy of an existing model with a new name that you choose. Icons for prototype models that come with VORSIM are found in the VORSIM Window. Whenever you create a new model, its icon (e.g. the DEMOmod and STATmod ‘VORSIM Model’ icons) is automatically placed in the VORSIM Window. Thus the VORSIM window gives you instant access to all models that you have installed or built for simulation.
