Model Dimension Overview

Every model can contain any number of Dimensions. There are two types of Model Dimensions: Case Dimensions and Parts Dimensions. Model Dimensions afford you tremendous flexibility in building and analyzing models.

 

Case Dimensions are made up of any number of Overlays and any number of model-wide constant parameters specified by Unit type.

 

Parts Dimensions allow you to specify which FO Instances are to be included in "slices" of the model. In effect it allows you to break up the model into parts that can be view independently of one another or side-by-side for comparison.

 

Parts Dimensions can be created and synchronized for any FO Attribute or Hub. To do so, go to Model Dimensions and Scenarios / Model Dimensions and right-click to open its Add menu, then select the FO Attribute or Hub Type you want to create a Parts Dimension for.

 

Model Dimensions are used extensively in reports and analysis, as configured in Frameworks.
