The Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows the user to set up complex models by placing (drag-and-drop) the relevant process units on the screen; to run dynamic simulations, sensitivity analyses, parameter estimations and scenario analyses; to manipulate model parameters; to set up plot windows and/or output files; to edit the model library; etc. How flexible are data input and output representation (graphics, data files, DDE, etc.) ? See previous point. Input data may be entered in the form of text files. Simulation outputs may be collected in graphical (plot windows) and/or numerical format (text files). Is it possible to communication with other programs (i.e. Microsoft Excel, MATLAB, etc.) ? See previous point. The WEST API allows ‘advanced users’ to implement customized User Interfaces and to use WEST as the internal simulation tool.
