System Model Editor
The most basic items of a MADE model consist of subsystems, components, and parts.
Before any of these items can be created, the System Model editor must first be opened.
To open the System Model:
- Select (Right-click) the Vehicle System in the Project Explorer
- Select System Model from the right-click menu

program.
The system model editor consists of the following features:
- A tab to the top left allowing the user to manipulate the editor placement
- Display text in the top left showing the end effect and current analysis applied
- Minimize and Restore buttons on the top right corner
- A blank system model with two MUX bars that are the functional boundaries of the system
