Examining the Output

Step 3 SyntheSim

Next to the standard Run button ICON is the SyntheSim button ICON. SyntheSim mode can add considerable interactivity to a model. Clicking this button turns all constant-valued auxiliary variables into slider bars. It also places small graphs inside the boxes containing the names of box variables and rates. When SyntheSim is on, any change you make will be immediately reflected in the graphs on each box variable and rate.

Procedure:

  • Values of constant auxiliary variables can be adjusted by dragging the slider bars or clicking on them.
  • If you click on the arrows on the sides of the bars, a pop-up window will appear. In this window you can manually adjust the variable's value, or set the minimum, maximum and increment for that slider bar.
