Create a new Scenario

click on the purple diamond icon to create new scenario

give it a name (you might want more than one so index it, for example, as "ExperimentalDisease1")

Fill in any Dublin core data you want to add

click finish

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.

Figure 1: A new Scenario in the Resource Set. The model has already been dragged into it.

 

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
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
nothing would happen. Please follow the separate tutorials on "creating a sequencer" and "creating and infector" to learn more about how to create and customize
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
by dragging that from  your projects "sequencers" folder.


Add a sequencer to the Scenario

To add the system default sequencer to your model, go to Sequencers on the bottom window - expand fully

drag "Sequential Sequencer 2006" into the Scenario in the Resource Set. Make sure you have a properties Editor Window open

click on >Window>other>General>Properties to open the properties view. Open the Disease in the Properties Editor – get ready to Create an Infector
 

Adding an Infector
See also the instructions for creating an infector.
To create an infector you first need to make sure you know the exact ‘Disease Name’ used when you created your disease.
To be sure check it as follows. In the Project Explorer, Under Decorators, double click on ExperimentalDisease.standard
The new disease will be visible in the resource set. Expand the file node an you should see “ExperimentalDisease model human”.
Click on “ExperimentalDisease Disease model human” In the bottom window click on the properties tab to show the disease in the properties editor view.

Click on the new infector icon (black square with the health symbol and the letter I)

The New Infector Icon



Name it (e.g., "CubaInfector"), under DiseaseName: "ExperimentalDisease"
Under country select Cuba
Click on the Scenario to open it in the Resource set
drag the CubaInfector from Decorators into the scenario (open it to see it)

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.

click on the scenario, right click and run
