How to resolve inputs – default method Inputs Roadmap – beta1 The “Resolve Inputs” button is in the Left Hand frame of the model pages There is one "coupling" entry for each input requirement declared in the model component descriptions. Within each Boundary Condition Coupling entry there are four subsections - It is likely that users will only fill out section (2) or section (3) for any one coupling. Initial condition Couplings bind the input to between one and many variables Ancillary File Couplings bind the input to a single file Initial condition Couplings bind the input to between one and many variables Ancillary File Couplings bind the input to a single file After saving it is possible to enter additional Coupling and/or Forcing information Which external or internal information is bound to the input requirements?
