* **Framework** - a model family typically contains two frameworks - one for future simulation and another for historical calibration (though a model family may have only a simulation framework). Simulator and calibrator frameworks in the same model family are strongly connected by cross-framework variable links to maintain structural integrity between the historical and simulation time periods. | * **Framework** - a model family typically contains two frameworks - one for future simulation and another for historical calibration (though a model family may have only a simulation framework).
