2. 2 PurposePurpose 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

3. 3 Global Workspace: Information available to all modules in the Local Workspace Local Workspace Icons Logo Tool Bar

4. 4 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.

5. 5 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
