Before we simulate the model, we should check it for errors in equations and units.
| Ø | Select Model>Check Model from the menu (or press Ctrl + T); you should get an information box saying "Model is OK." |
If the model has errors, the Equation Editor will open with the variable containing the error. Check that the equation uses all the inputs and looks the same as in the listing above. Check that the structure of your model is the same as in the diagram above.
| Ø | Select Model>Units Check from the menu (or press Ctrl + U); you should get an information box saying "Units are AOK." |
If a units error is generated, read the Output window to see which variables are failing the check. Open the Equation Editor on each variable and check the units against the list above. Units that do not check out often indicate poor or incorrect equation formulation.
NOTE The Units Check feature can also be accessed from the Analysis tools except in PLE and PLE Plus. You need to modify the toolset (menu Tools>Analysis Toolset>Modify…) and add the Units tool, or open the Analysis toolset default2.vts which contains the Units tool.
