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.
