===================================================
Types of Vivarium components and how to design them
===================================================

The following subpages describe the different types of Vivarium
components we typically encounter and provide guidelines on how to model
them in our simulations.

To document a new component or an entirely new simulation, you should
start with one of the following templates (if applicable), referring to
the above pages for more information. The Concept Model Template is the
starting point for designing a new Vivarium simulation, whereas the
other templates are for discrete components within a simulation.
