Species Inputs in the Browser

Within the browser An alternative view of a GoldSim model, in which elements are displayed in a tree, and organized either hierarchically, or by type. view, the single input to a Species The chemical (or non-chemical, such as bacterial or viral) constituents that are stored and transported through an environmental system in a contaminant transport model. In GoldSim, the Species element defines all of the contaminant species being simulated (and their properties). element is labeled "Definition". It is a vector A one-dimensional array. by species. It expands to show each of the species in the model. Of all of the properties of a particular species, only two accept links from other elements: the Half-life (or Decay Rate) and the Stoichiometries for the various daughters Reaction products of a species. Species can decay into one or more daughters (or daughter products).. Therefore, if you expand a particular species of the Definition input, only these inputs appear:

The Half-lives (or Decay Rates) and Stoichiometry are the only items in browser view for a Species element that you can link an output to (using the Link Cursor A special cursor for creating links invoked by double-clicking on an input or output object in a browser.). All other Species element inputs must be specified via the species definition dialog.
