Menu | <<<< | >>>> | Access programs from the desktop with the VORSIM or Utilities Icons

Desktop VORSIM Utilities Window (Utilities, Information, Models, Tutorials)

When you install VORSIM, two icons are placed on your Desktop (left): 1. the VORSIM icon accesses the VORSIM (Model Builder) program (where you can switch to the three other control screens) and 2. The VORSIM Utility icon opens a window with icons that access utilities, information, demonstration models and tutorials. 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 or any other control screen. An example of a utility is the ‘Duplicate A Model’ Utility Program which creates a copy of key existing model workbooks with a new name that you choose. Icons for prototype models (e.g. DEMO) that come with VORSIM are also found in the VORSIM Utilities Window.

Access models from the VORSIM Control Screens

Click the [Select Active Model >] button to get the above list of models and files in the selected model directory. Then the selection (here DEMO) becomes the active model for VORSIM. The model itself is loaded by clicking the [Model] button on any control screen (the control screen is shut down and the model opened).
