Workspace: Model Fragment editor

Task description

In this screen you can edit the contents of Model fragments, including Entities, Attributes, Configurations, Quantities and Quantity Spaces, Values, Dependencies, Agents, Assumptions, Inequalities, Values, Calculations, Influences, Proportionalities, conditional Model fragments, Correspondences and Identities.

Task context

The 'Model Fragment editor' screen can be accessed from the Garp 3 main screen or from the 'Model Fragments definitions editor' screen. Press the button 'Edit latest Model fragment' in the Garp3 main screen or the 'Edit selected Model fragment' in the 'Model fragments definitions editor' to open this workspace.

To Edit, double click on an ingredient or select the ingredient and press the enter key on the keyboard. The Change view and Save tasks are accessible via the pull down menus at the top of the workspace.

Example

The example shows the Model fragment editor with an imported conditional model fragment Population to which the Quantity 'Born' is added as a consequence. Also, between the Quantities 'Born' and 'Size' is a positive Influence and 'Size' has an Inequality to its own Quantity space to indicate it has to be greater than Zero.
