Show/Hide Hidden Text

In this run we will introduce entities into the model during the course of simulation, and take a first look at table output.

 

Stages of Ventity™ Modeling

In this run, we will ...

Stage 1 - Define entity types
Design the kinds of entities

 

... learn to import entity type definitions from other models and to rename entity types

Stage 2 - Initialize the model
Specify how many entities and their individual characteristics

 

... use the initialization file "time" column to set the time at which entities appear in the simulation.

 

Stage 3 - Run the model

Configure time settings and perform calculations

 

(nothing new here - just push the green button)

Stage 4 - Examine results

See model behavior in graphs and tables

 

... use tables as well as line charts to examine simulation output.
