Dear all,
I would like make a individual-based model in SIMILE ).
I have n individual predator, and I have m patches. In each patch there is a compartment of prey.
I would like to simulate that each individual can go in each patch. Moreover more than one individual can be stay in one patch.
I did different experiments including individual in patch or patch in individual, but it doesn’t work.
Have you done something like that before?
Can you suggest some methods or ideas?

Thanks
Francesco

To handle that sort of relationship in Simile you need to use an association submodel and for computational efficiency you should ensure that the the condition for the association is in terms of one-sided enumeration (search the simulistics web site for one sided enumeration).

There are examples in the model catalogue of using hexagonal patches: http://www.simulistics.com/examples/catalogue/keywordpage.php?Id=84
