## Simulation EditorBasic Features

- FRAMES-2.0 Workshop
- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
- Bethesda, Maryland
- November 15-16, 2007
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
- Richland, Washington

**Notes:**
I would like to help set a positive tone for this workshop.  This workshop is very important as it brings disparate groups together to coordinate development and assessment activities to solve complex environmental problems.

The focus is on communications to mutually benefit from each other’s development activities.   

We have invested significant resources in development of these systems.  Each system is valuable and meets a need of its developer.  There is no “best” system; there are many acceptable systems, and even the acceptable systems are rendered unacceptable if implemented improperly.

## Purpose

**Purpose**

- Visually constructs a Conceptual Site Model
- Documents comments
- Limit changes to the CSM
- Chooses models
- Locks in models
- Describes how models communicate with one another
- Provides user friendly interfaces for
- Choosing models
- Locking in models
- Inputting user-defined data
- Viewing graphical or tabular output results
- Allows for Monte Carlo analyses

## Global Workspace:

**Global Workspace:**
- Information available to all modules in the Local Workspace

**Local Workspace**

**Icons**

**Logo**

**Tool Bar**

## Provides the user with an opportunity to make notes about a simulation.  This is very handy, especially if the user has a series of runs with titles like run1, run2, run3, etc.  The user can log the differences in the simulations using the Comments section.

## Icon Traffic Light:

**Customize Menu:**
- Customizes the look and feel of the workspace in the Simulation Editor

**Icon Traffic Light:**
- • Black:  Icon chosen
- • Red: Model chosen
- • Yellow: Data Input
- • Green: Run successful

## MEPAS 5.0 Source in an Aquifer

- This is a user-defined personalized note associated with the Source module.  These notes are constructed by the user and will be displayed when the curser is held over the icon, when "Show Notes" is checked under the Customize menu.
