Core simulation settings#

This section explains how to set up the core components of a Virtual Ecosystem simulation. This includes:

  • A detailed overview of the core simulation configuration options for the Virtual Ecosystem.

  • A detailed description of the axes used by the data object.

  • A guide for generating a reusable site definition file, (i.e. setting the spatial extent etc of your simulation grid)

  • An explanation of the different ways that static models can be setup.
