6. Model overview
While more phenomenological models which are governed by “rules”may be better viewed via “Overview”.

7. Click on the tab 'Simulation‘ (right lower panel)
![Page 22: Manual - General](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55c2012fbb61eb2d518b4644/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

![Page 23: Manual - General](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55c2012fbb61eb2d518b4644/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
8. Run the simulationClick on the 'play' button
![Page 24: Manual - General](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55c2012fbb61eb2d518b4644/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
9. OutputYou obtain a separate window with the simulation results of all the species that are
incorporated in the chosen model
![Page 25: Manual - General](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55c2012fbb61eb2d518b4644/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
10. Interpreting the output
The plot produced by the simulation contains the values of all states over time.
In this case, we can see the lipoprotein model departing from its initial state and reaching a steady state.
![Page 26: Manual - General](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55c2012fbb61eb2d518b4644/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
11. Plotting the variables you are interested in
You can change the variables plotted by visiting the “Variables” and “Parameters” tabs – found next to the “simulation” tab.
![Page 27: Manual - General](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55c2012fbb61eb2d518b4644/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
11. Plotting the variables you are interested in
By ticking the boxes under “show in plot” you can determine which values you would like to see plotted over time.
Note that these boxes appear under both “Variables” and “Parameters”, and all will be plotted in the same figure.
![Page 28: Manual - General](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55c2012fbb61eb2d518b4644/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
12. Changing the parameters of your model
The values of initial conditions (i.e., the concentration at the beginning of your simulation) can be changed under “Variables”.
Initial conditions
Note that some “variables” areconstants, here the liver and plasma volumes and FFA concentration
![Page 29: Manual - General](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55c2012fbb61eb2d518b4644/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
12. Changing the parameters of your model
The values of model parameters can be changes under “parameters”.
Parameters that determine model behaviour are constant.
The value of a parameter can be changed by entering a new value in the box.
![Page 30: Manual - General](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55c2012fbb61eb2d518b4644/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
13. Comparing simulationsIf you leave the old plot screen “open” and simulate again with the new parameters, they can be compared. Note that you must return to the “Simulations” tab to be able to run the simulation.Here, we have changed the value of reaction_10_v from 1.30725E-5 to 1.0 for a demonstration.
reaction_v_10 = 1.30725E-5 reaction_v_10 = 1.0
![Page 31: Manual - General](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55c2012fbb61eb2d518b4644/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
13. Comparing simulationsThe behaviour of the model should change as shown below• This is not a phsyiologically relevant change, simply an example of changing a
parameter value.• The colors and (order of the) legend in your simulation may not match the colors
and legends shown below.
reaction_v_10 = 1.30725E-5 reaction_v_10 = 1.0

14. Changing the model you are working with
To change the model you are working with, again click on the BioModels database and select a model as previously explained.
