Model Code Exploration

In the following sections we will examine all of the model files for this model. Note that instead of downloading the zip file above, you could just copy the text in the boxes below into a text editor and save it with the appropriate name (Section title). Opening the resulting .scn file in the SELES simulator would run this model.
