Worked example Simile models

These example models are provided to illustrate different aspects of modelling. All the models are quite simple, but will hopefully provide some inspiration in the creation of your own models. In addition, three models are saved in the “Examples” subfolder of the Simile program files directory. Also in this folder are the helper configuration files needed to visualise model behaviour.
