 +===== Run Calibration to Produce a History ===== 
 +This part of the process depends on your individual model. ​ By convention we keep a loading recipe in the notes for the root node in the diagram. ​ In Documentor right click on the root node and go to Properties, then choose the notes button. ​ Here's a template of how to run the recipe and produce a hisotry: 
 +  -Load the views in the views window 
 +    -Setup the default file path to the views directory ​(e.g. /​models/​tcteem/​V5/​cal/views
 +    -Choose menu item View Actions > Load OR right click and select Load 
 +  -Follow the recipe which will likely involve ​loading ​a source history, running some feedback views and saving scenarios as you go and the final one will be your tracking history. 
 +  -Evaluate history ins for your tracking history - this prepares all the calibrator inputs and data needed for the simulator to be run over historic time 
 +    -Right click on the tracking history scenario in the scenarios window and choose ​"​Evaluate history inputs"​ 
 +  -Evaluate history outputs for your tracking history - this runs the simulator frame work over historic time and produces the history scenario 
 +    -Right click on the tracking history scenario in the scenarios window and choose "​Evaluate history outputs"​ 
 +    -Name your historic scenario, we usually just use the name "​history"​ - this will show up in the simulation frame work  
 + 
 +====== Model loading: When you have a simulator ONLY ====== 
 +===== Prepare for loading from inside Documenter ===== 
 +  -Open the simulator diagram in Documenter 
 +  -Touch the informants and measures to trigger the model to output the informants 
 +    -Go into any one informant under the informants tab and click OK 
 +    -Go into any measure under the measures tab and click OK 
 +  -Run all calculators forward 
 +  -Run all calculators backward 
 +  -Create the loading files for SAMM  
 +    -Choose menu item SAMM > Loading files > Framework... 
 +    -Click "​simulator with calibrator" ​button 
 +    -Select the "​informants"​ check box so that check box is ON 
 +    -Click OK 
 + 
 +===== Load model inside SAMM ===== 
 + 
 +  -Open SAMM and login under model account 
 +  -Create a new model family  
 +    -Choose menu item MF Actions > Create OR right click in Model Families window and choose Create 
 +    -"MB name" should be a string with no spaces or strange characters. ​ It is often related ​to the ModelBase name in the root of the model but it does not have to be. 
 +    -Fill in an English description. 
 +    -Click OK 
 +  -Enter the Model Family by double clicking on it.  A check mark appears in the Model Families window. 
 +  -Setup the default file path 
 +    -Choose menu item File > Set File Path... 
 +    -This is a unix style path so use forward slashes and direct it to the location of the simulator files (e.g. /​models/​tcteem/​V5/​sim) 
 +  -Load the simulator framework 
 +    -Choose menu item FW Actions > Load OR right click and select Load (note the location is what you set in step 4) 
 +    -MB name: MUST be the model base name from the root of the simulation ​diagram, ​give it the description ​“sim”
   -Load informants   -Load informants
     -Choose menu item Windows > Informants     -Choose menu item Windows > Informants
     -Right click and select Load (path should be correct because of 5c)     -Right click and select Load (path should be correct because of 5c)
-    -Adjust the file location if it is incorrect (should be something like /​models/​tcteem/​V5/​cal/​informs.samm)+    -Adjust the file location if it is incorrect (should be something like /​models/​tcteem/​V5/​sim/​informs.samm)
