Structure

On this screen, the user will define the model structure. The structure is comprised of node type, node names, and the flow for the sequence of nodes.

Structure

Left hand pane -> Markdown editor pane

To build a model, the user will document the types of nodes and node names on the Markdown Editor pane.

Each node type needs a [Section Header] defined by brackets [ ].

The following is a list of the node types:

• Buffer

• Constraint

• Split

• Merge

• Conveyor

• Conversions

Nodes can be defined by either:

• Name (example: b1)

• Description (example: Buffer1)

• Name and Description (example: b1: Buffer 1)

Node Name and Description are alphanumeric and can contain most symbols

[Links] define the flow or sequence of material/processing step using -> to separate nodes.

For example - consider a model with a simple buffer-constraint-buffer setup. The link structure would be as follows:

[Links]

b1 -> c1

c1 -> b2

Right hand pane -> Model Structure View

The model structure will appear on the right hand pane when the model is defined in the editor pane.
