What is the difference between “Developer” and “Transcriber”?
A Developer is the original creator of the model in its original format cited in a publication. A Transcriber transliterates whenever possible the original model format into the GENESIS format for Kinetikit which is available on DOQCS. Transliterated models match the original published model in all parameters. Sometimes when converting original model formats to GENESIS better matches to published literature would be possible by using different parameters from original model publication. Modified parameters are obtained by curve fitting or by personal correspondence with the developer of the model. Such translated models always contain a note specifying the changes made from the original published models. • What is a Kinetikit file or .g file? A Kinetikit file or a .g file is a text file which contains the model description in the GENESIS scripting language that can be “read” by Kinetikit to simulate the model. These files end with the .g extension. • What information does a .g file hav
