This page lists all the Forio model properties. Model properties must be prefaced by an "M" and apply to the entire model.
You may also want to read about variable and decision properties. Though they are not listed below, all variable and decision properties can also be applied to the entire model by using an "M" instead of a "P".
The final time of the simulation. If less than StartTime, the simulation will not advance.
Default value, if undefined: 10
Example:
M EndTime = 2010
The number of steps taken when the simulation initializes, before the user enters the first set of decisions.
Default value, if undefined: 1
Example:
M InitialSteps = 3
The name of a range, or a comma separated list of ranges, which are used to identify roles in a multiplayer simulation. These ranges are used to generate the list of roles that can be selected when creating a new user.
Example 1:
R Competitors = 1..3
M MultiPlayerRolesRange = Competitors
With the above example, the Role drop-down list will offer the following choices when creating or editing a user.
1
2
3
Example 2:
R Region = US, Asia, Europe
R Sector = Manufacturer, Service
M MultiPlayerRolesRange = Region, Sector
In this example, the Role selection will list the following combinations of ranges:
US, Manufacturer
US, Service
Asia, Manufacturer
Asia, Service
Europe, Manufacturer
Europe, Service
The starting time of the simulation.
Default value, if undefined: 0
Example:
M StartTime = 2003
The number of steps taken each time the user advances the simulation. More precisely, the number of steps advanced by the simulation when the simulation is advanced with FD_action=STEP.
Default value, if undefined: 1
Example:
M StepsPerInterval = 4
The number of steps between each time that data is saved. Only relevant if the property SaveResult is set for some variable or decision..
Default value, if undefined: 1
Example:
M StepsPerSave = 4
The length of each step in the current time unit.
Default value, if undefined: 1
Example:
M TimeStep = 0.5
The number format used when retrieving the current time.
Default value, if undefined: ###0
Example:
M TimeFormat = Year ###0
