| <h1>Create a new Scenario</h1> |
| <font size="4"> |
| </font> |
| <p>click on the purple diamond icon to create new scenario </p> |
| <p>give it a name (you might want more than one so index it, for example, as |
| "ExperimentalDisease1") </p> |
| <p>Fill in any Dublin core data you want to add </p> |
| <p>click finish </p> |
| <p>From the Project Explorer window, under Models, Drag the new model |
| ("cuba.model") into the new Scenario in the Resource Set. Expand the scenario so |
| you can see that it worked. </p> |

| <p align="left">Your model is now part of your scenario but you are not finished |
| yet. Every scenario must also include a "sequencer" which basically is a clock |
| that<br> |
| regulates time, and an "infector" which sets the initial infectious population. |
| If you ran a model for an infectious disease where nobody was infected anywhere |
| then<br> |
| nothing would happen. Please follow the separate tutorials on "<a href="sequencertutorial.html">creating |
| a sequencer</a>" and "<a href="infectortutorial.html">creating and infector</a>" |
| to learn more about how to create and customize<br> |
| each of them. In the example below we will describe creation of a scenario using |
| a default sequencer but you can easily use your own custom sequence simply<br> |
| by dragging that from your projects "sequencers" folder.</p> |
| <p align="left"><br> |
| <b>Add a sequencer to the Scenario</b><br> |
| <br> |
| To add the system default sequencer to your model, go to Sequencers on the |
| bottom window - expand fully<br> |
| <br> |
| drag "Sequential Sequencer 2006" into the Scenario in the Resource Set. Make |
| sure you have a properties Editor Window open<br> |
| <br> |
| click on >Window>other>General>Properties to open the properties view. Open the |
| Disease in the Properties Editor – get ready to Create an Infector<br> |
| </p> |
| <p align="left"><b>Adding an Infector<br> |
| </b><i>See also the instructions for <a href="infectortutorial.html">creating an |
| infector.</a></i><br> |
| To create an infector you first need to make sure you know the exact ‘Disease |
| Name’ used when you created your disease. <br> |
| To be sure check it as follows. In the Project Explorer, Under Decorators, |
| double click on ExperimentalDisease.standard <br> |
| The new disease will be visible in the resource set. Expand the file node an you |
| should see “ExperimentalDisease model human”. <br> |
| Click on “ExperimentalDisease Disease model human” In the bottom window click on |
| the properties tab to show the disease in the properties editor view. <br> |
| <br> |
| Click on the new infector icon (black square with the health symbol and the |
| letter I)</p> |

| <p align="left"><br> |
| <br> |
| Name it (e.g., "CubaInfector"), under DiseaseName: "ExperimentalDisease"<br> |
| Under country select Cuba<br> |
| Click on the Scenario to open it in the Resource set<br> |
| drag the CubaInfector from Decorators into the scenario (open it to see it)<br> |
| <br> |
| In the resource set click on the infector SI Infector ExperimentalDisease to |
| edit it. Your disease model may be SI, SIR, SIER, etc but in all cases you only |
| need an SI infector (as this base class will add infectious people to seed any |
| model.<br> |
| <br> |
| click on the scenario, right click and run </p> |
