| - | This wiki is directly related to the content of and interacting with the CanESS model. | + | This section of the whatIf wiki contains CanESS user documentation. |
| - | Here are a couple of good sources of general CanESS Information: | + | Other CanESS-related pages: |

| + | ===== Getting Started ===== | ||
| - | ====== Getting started: using whatIf? ====== | + | Before using CanESS it is necessary to learn the basics of navigating the software environment in which the model operates. See the [[trainingtutorial:samm_concepts_and_mechanics|whatIf? Modelling Platform - SAMM concepts and mechanics tutorial]]. |
| - | For a good overview of technically how to interact with a model through the whatIf? software you can review the following website. It was built to help Royal Roads University (RRU) students interact with a whatIf? model and it does a good job of explaining the concepts and technical details about the software. Feel free to review the whole website or go straight to the tutorial. All references to control panels and dashboards are actually create views and display views in our more general terminology. | + | |
| - | [[http://web.mac.com/globalsimsystem/GSS/GSS_Home_.html|Using whatIf? Tutorial: Global Systems Simulator for RRU]] | + | Understand how it's organized - [[caness:hierarchy_overview|CanESS Hierarchy Overview. |
| - | ====== CanESS ====== | + | Next, see [[caness:Key_CanESS_Views|Key CanESS Views]]. |
| - | [Insert some kind of summary of CanESS Structure here]\\ | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Main Drivers for Simulation ==== | + | |
| - | * Population which drives: | + | |
| - | * Families/households | + | |
| - | * GDP which drives | + | |
| - | * Industrial production | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Interesting High level Summary Views ==== | + | |
| - | Scoping to the top of the diagram, and pick in the scenarios you want to report on. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Here are some intersesting views: | + | |
| - | * scenario overview report (overviewRpt) - Focused mainly on the transportation demand sector but also shows the GDP and Population assumptions | + | |
| - | * demography report (demogRpt - logged at demography) - shows information about the underlying population assumptions | + | |
| - | * energy disposition report (enrDispRpt - logged at root) - shows making and using totals for various energy commodities including import and export | + | |
| - | * fuel use report (fuelUseRpt - logged at energyUse/conEnergyUse) - displays information about fuel use (by sector) in Canada in several different formats | + | |
| - | * net emissions report (netEmNQ - logged at emissions) | + | |
