These
tutorials provide step-by-step instructions for creating an interface to an
existing STELLA or iThink model, allowing users to interact with your
model by changing model inputs, running the simulation and viewing output. For hands-on
experience creating this model interface and additional tutorial instruction,
open the models found in the Tutorials directory of your STELLA or iThink installation.
Tutorial 1: Creating a Home Page
Learn how to use Text Boxes and Buttons to create
a Home Page.
Tutorial 2: Creating a Simulation Lab
Add interface objects that provide a "laboratory" environment to
experiment with the model. Let users modify model inputs, run simulations
and view results with Graphs, Menu Buttons, Numerical
Displays, Status Indicators, Sliders, and Switches.
Tutorial 3: Create Assumptions Page
Add Knobs and Graphical Input Devices to your
interface allowing users to change initial values or assumptions about the
relationships defined in your model. See how Graphics Frames can make your interface more visually appealing to users.
Tutorial 4: Story Telling
Storytelling is an effective way of helping others to understand your model. Learn how to build a story for your model.
