This section of the documentation provides a tutorial approach to using the new The Graphical Interface (GUI) that has been added to the OPUS system as of version 4.2. This represents a substantial initiative to make UrbanSim and OPUS more user-friendly and accessible to modelers and model users -- by reducing the need for programming expertise to use the system effectively to build, estimate, and use model systems for a range of applications. We think the GUI offers a substantial advance in usability, and look forward to user feedback, and contributions from collaborators, to continue building on this foundation.
If you haven't already, please install Opus and UrbanSim on your machine. Installation instructions are in Appendix A.
