Using CLEM

Using the CLEM model to simulate your farming system requires understanding two aspects: 

1. how to use the user interface to build your simulation which we describe in this section, and
2. the variety of components available (see Features) which involves getting to know the functionality of the model.

While it is often easy to grab a pre-built model and click run, we highly recommend having a go at building your model from scratch. This will ensure you have a good understanding of what the model is doing and be satisfied it is truly simulating your farming system.

To get to know CLEM we suggest you have a look at the following topics:

• Getting started
• The user interface
• Building your simulation
• Companion components
• Restricting activities
• What to do when resources are limiting
• Allowing random variability in your simulation
• Managing labour resources
• Running a simulation
• Summary information
• Reports and graphs
