How to create a simple strategy

The creation of a new simple strategy is realized via the Strategy Class Coder software. This topic provides a step-by-step guide for this creation.

1. Download the Strategy Class Coder application (http://components.biomamodelling.org/components/scc/publish.htm)

2. Open the SCC software and click on "Data-interfaces DLL". A file browser will appear.

3. Select one of the .dll files containing the definition of the domain classes. In this example, the dll CRA.Diseases.Airborne.DiseaseProgress.Interface has been selected.

4. Once done, the SCC software will automatically configure according to the domain classes included in the .dll file loaded:

5. Then, the General panel has to be filled with the definition of the Domain, the Model Type, the Strategy name, the Strategy description (these fields must be filled according to the user need).

The following fields must be filled: NameVar, Description, MinValue, MaxValue, DefaultValue, Units and ValueType. In this example, one parameter is defined.
