Menu | <<<< | >>>> | VORSIM control screen – define structure, add equations, build a model

All activities for the definition of a model, the writing of model equations, and the creation of model workbooks are carried out from workbooks built/accessed from this control screen.  Buttons in controls screens such as this and in workbooks are labeled for their primary task.  The buttons initiate programs that carry out model-building tasks.  When the data, definition, and equations workbooks have been created, they are accessed for further work from this control screen.  A new model is defined by bringing up a model definition menu with the [Create a New Model] button.  Red buttons always leave or close out the current window.  In this control screen, the [QUIT] closes the screen and any open workbooks.  The buttons to the right of the ‘Go To >’ box close out this control screen and activate the other control screens or the active model.  The [Select Active Model] button focuses the control screen on a selected model.  Here the screen is focused on the model DEMO that is located in the C:\VMOD\DEMO directory.  The pages that follow show steps for defining a new model, writing model equations, and creating the final stand-alone simulation model.
