Home Ribbon Tab

The Home ribbon tab is the gateway to all modeling elements used to define a model. Through this menu you specify the locations, entity types, arrival rates, resources, path networks, downtimes, processing logic, variables, attributes, arrays, macros, and subroutines that provide the flexibility needed to model your system.

Any element represented by a graphic in the Layout window can be edited by double-clicking on the graphic or right-clicking and choosing Edit from the context menu.
