Tutorials are works in progress. Each tutorial will provide an overview of the topic and a beginning guide to a set of models which can be run on the website or downloaded for running on one's own computer under JSim (under Windows, Macintosh or Linux). The intention of the tutorials is to provide elementary material on a given topic, and by way of example, to use the primitive modules as components within a modest number of increasingly complex forms. Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Each tutorial links to a set of model Wiki pages. Each model page gives a name, a description, model equations and a diagram (usually), and on “RUN MODEL” links to a model archive to bring up a JSim standard window and allow one to run a model, change parameters, edit the program, and save it on your own computer. One can develop one's own interface to replace the standard JSim window if so desired.

Three tutorials are available at this time.

• Lung Models
• Compartmental Models
• Modeling of transport and metabolism in whole organs according to Goresky
• Enzyme Model of the NaKATPase or Sodium pump according to Chapman

Additional tutorials are under construction.

• Blood Gas Binding
• Diffusion
• Filtration & Porous Transport
• Transporters
• JSim
• Using PDEs
• Optimization
• Blood-Tissue Exchange
• Enzyme Reactions
• Vascular Flow
• Cardiac Concentration
• Metabolism
• Modeling & Modeling Standards
• Multiscale Modeling
• BCLs (Biological Component Libraries)
• Special Examples, Methods, Algorithms, Displays, etc.

To find a published model, you may search the database. Here are several ways to search:

1. Search by using the search term entry box in the upper right side of this page. Enter the name of the model or a term associated with the model in the empty box, then click the “Search” button.
2. Click the symbol next to a model category. Follow the revealed symbols until you reach a published model or an empty category.
3. Click the

   button to scan an expanded list of model categories and published models, or to search for a term in the list using your browser's Find function.
   Click the

   button to return the expanded list to its original state.
4. Click the

   button to scan a list of the short names of the available models, or to search for a term in the list using your browser's Find function.
5. Click the

   button to scan a list of the long names, or to search for a term in the list using your browser's Find function.

First register, or log in if you've already registered, then add your model. Visit the Models page for information on model standards and terminology.
