Welcome to the CPSim wiki!

Here you will be able to find detailed explanations of how to use the code, as well as the mechanics behind the code.

Remember that everything is still "work in progress" and so we appreciate any feedback you may have.

The Introduction is a great place to start!

Important: The easiest way to build your first few models is by copying an already existing example, and modifying it. I recommend that the user does not attempt to read through all the Model File Format details at the beginning since it can get quite complicated and overwhelming. The user should try editing a pre-existing model first, and then look at the details if needed.
