Modgen 11 Time-based model : MochModel4 Project Overview
========================================================================
The Modgen 11 Time-based model wizard has created this MochModel4 application for you.
This file contains a summary of what you will find in each of the files that
make up your MochModel4 application, as well as instructions on what to do next.
MochModel4.vcxproj
This is the main project file for VC++ projects. The settings for the project were
modified specifically for Modgen 11 models. Although they can be modified, it is recommended
that only experienced developer do so.
Files included in the project have been group under 3 filters:
- C++ Files
- Modules (mpp)
- Scenarios
Modules (mpp)
Mpp Files are the modules of the model and contain the actual Modgen code. Each mpp file
constitues a module of the model. Run Modgen 11 through the "Run Modgen 11" toolbar button
or item of the menu "Tools" to generate corresponding C++ files before compiling.
C++ FILES
The C++ files that were created by the wizard are placeholders. Compiling the project
at this stage will result in errors. Model developers need to run Modgen 11 through the
"Run Modgen 11" toolbar button or item of the menu "Tools" to generate real C++ code before
compiling the model.
SCENARIOS
Scenario files are included so that the model developer has a basic scenario to start
using the model once it is compiled. Although they have been included in the C++ project,
they are not used to compile the model. Therefore, model developers can choose to remove
those files from the C++ project.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The Modgen 11 Time-based model wizard has created the following modules:
MochModel4.mpp
This module contains core simulation functions and definitions.
MotherCore.mpp
This module contains the basic information which defines the Mother case.
TickerCore.mpp
This module contains the basic information associated with a Ticker actor.
One single Ticker actor is instantiated in a simulation. It is used to synchronise
time among all of the actors in the population in order to ensure
accurate reports.
ModelStrings.mpp
This module contains model-specific strings used in the progress dialog.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The Modgen 11 Time-based model wizard has created the following C++ files:
MochModel4.cpp
MotherCore.cpp
ModelStrings.cpp
TickerCore.cpp
These cpp files are placeholders and do not currently contain valid cpp code. Running
Modgen 11 will replace these files by C++ files corresponding to the mpp modules.
Actors.h
Actors.cpp
model.h
model.rc
parse.inf
Tabinit.h
Tabinit.cpp
These files are also placeholders and the current content is not valid. Running Modgen 11
will replace these files by special files C++ files corresponding to the current model.
app.ico
This file contains the default Modgen model icon. It is recommended that model developers
replace this file with their own icon representative of the model.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The Modgen 11 Time-based model wizard has created the following scenario files:
Base.sce
This file contains the settings of the basic scenario included with the model. To view and
edit this file, it is recommended that model developers first compile their model and
then use the model's interface. To open the scenario in the model, use the "Scenario / Open"
menu in the model executable. Once the scenario is opened, settings can be viewed and
modified using the "Scenario / Settings" menu item. Refer to the Modgen 11 User's Guide
for more information.
Base(MotherCore).dat
This file contains values for the parameters declared in the MotherCore module.
These values can be viewed and modified through the Visual Studio environment, or through
the model interface once the model is compiled. To see and edit parameter values in the
model interface, open the scenario and double-click on the parameter in the left pane.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
What to do next
- Run Modgen 11: either through the "Run Modgen 11" toolbar button or through the corresponding
menu item
- Build the model: use the "Build" command or "Batch Build" to create both debug and release
versions of the model
- run the simulation: open the model executable. Open the scenario using the "Scenario / Open"
menu item. Run the simulation using the "Scenario / Run/resume" menu item or corresponding toolbar
button.
Or
- edit the model: developers can modify existing modules or add new ones. To add a new module,
developers are encouraged to use the new Modgen 11 module wizard which is available through
the "Add new item" dialog in Visual Studio 2010.
