Using Library Models

When you find a model you want to use:
  1. Click on the model card to open it
  2. The model opens in its default mode (typically Run Mode)
  3. Interact with the simulation to explore its behavior
  4. Fork the model to create your own copy for editing
Forking a model creates a copy in your own project that you can modify without affecting the original.

Publishing to the Library

Share your models with the community by publishing them to the library.

Requirements

Before publishing, ensure your model:
  • Has a clear title and description
  • Is in Published state
  • Works correctly in Run Mode
  • Has appropriate tags for discoverability

How to Publish

  1. Open your model’s Settings
  2. Navigate to Visibility options
  3. Enable Include in Public Library
  4. Save your changes
Model Settings → Visibility → Include in Public Library ✓

Best Practices

  • Write a descriptive title that explains what the model does
  • Add a comprehensive description with use cases
  • Tag your model with relevant keywords
  • Test thoroughly before publishing
  • Consider adding documentation within the model
