Cube Base is the user
interface for the entire Cube system and provides interactive
data input and analysis, GIS functionality via ArcGIS, model
building and documentation, and scenario development and comparison.Links
between the model, the data, and GIS are a single click away,
making the development and application of models easy to use.
Cube Base allows you to run models developed with Cube Voyager,
Cube Cargo, Cube Analyst, Cube Dynasim, Cube Polar, TP+, TRIPS and
TRANPLAN.
Cube Base has user interface elements designed explicitly
for the development and application of models built using
Cube Voyager, Cube Cargo, Cube Analyst, Cube Dynasim, Cube
Polar, TP+, TRIPS and TRANPLAN.
Design and test your model
Application Manager uses a flow-chart system for designing,
coding, documenting and running the model. Input and output
data is shown in the context of the model and can be immediately
viewed or edited by double-clicking on it. A model can
be developed in 5 easy steps:
Step 1 – Create the project name and specify
the location of the input data. Step 2 – Use a pull-down menu to choose your model
functions. Each model step has input data on the left,
output data on the right.
Step 3 – Link in your networks, zonal data,
etc. Create files for intermediate steps, then drag and
link data from one model step to another.
Step 4 – Code your model parameters using
either the user-friendly menu-style interface or the scripting
language directly.
Step 5 – Apply your model by double-
clicking on specific steps, running the entire model,
running multiple scenarios, or running selected steps.
Application Manager makes it easy to present your model
in a clear way to others. Features include the ability
to organize the model using drag-and-drop, enter data
names and descriptions, add custom bitmap graphics, change
font color and size, and print out the application in
a format suitable for reports and presentations.
Scenario Development and Testing
Scenario Manager highlights key model parameters and data
for easy creation and testing of scenarios.
Forecasting has never been easier. Highlight the parameters
and data in your model that you wish to change between
scenarios. Cube automatically locates these values and
creates menu prompts. An easy-to-use graphical interface
allows users to run specific or all scenarios with no
additional intervention.
Develop your scenarios in 5 easy steps:
Step 1 – Create your model, highlight key
input and output data and model parameters.
Step 2 – Open your model and the highlighted
items appear in a side-bar window.
Step 3 – Create a scenario name.
Step 4 – Enter the data files and parameters
for that scenario.
Step 5 – Continue making scenarios, or run
your scenarios from a simple popup menu.
