Navigating and Viewing a Model
GoldSim's graphical user interface provides a number of powerful tools to make it easy for you to navigate and view both simple and complex models. While the graphics pane The primary portion of the GoldSim interface, where the graphical depiction of the model is shown. represents the "canvas" on which you graphically build a GoldSim model, the browser An alternative view of a GoldSim model, in which elements are displayed in a tree, and organized either hierarchically, or by type. represents the "road map" allowing you to quickly navigate through your model. Tool-tips within both the graphics pane and the browser allow you to quickly obtain an overview of a model without constantly opening property dialogs. Powerful search capabilities allow you to find any element in your model. And perhaps most importantly, the ability to easily view model dependencies (who affects who?) allows you to better understand and interpret the behavior of complex models.
