numerical solvers. Finally, the user runs simulation experiments from another Eco-
simPro GUI view: the experimental view (Fig. 12).
The experimental view of EcosimPro allows changing the values of the boundary
conditions and parameters of the model and shows the numerical value of the model
variables. So, it is possible to represent graphically the value of the model variables.
The main problem is that the user must know the name of the variables in order to
change or show their values and it is quite difficult if the user hasn't developed the
model and if the model contains hundreds or thousands of variables. So, it is the rea-
son why it looks like convenient to dispose of a friendly interface to use the simula-
tion model by a user different to the model builder.
