== Masks ==
 
-
 
-
In Metis Smart Modeling, masks are one of the building blocks of the modelisation. Masks are defined in terms of layout and functionalities in Metis Smart Modeling and are then used in Metis Smart Quote for the users to define input values which will be then be used by the [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Models|models]] (logical part) to generate positions in an offer.

== Group of Rules ==
 
-
 
-
 
-
In the Metis environment a Group of Rules is a container for [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Rules|rules]]. Those containers are also the main building block of a [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Modeling|model]]. As described in this section, it is based on those Group of Rules which [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Modeling|models]] can sequentially execute [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Rules|rules]] and the full logic behind them. From a more technical point of view, Group of Rules are made of a name and the rules it contains.

== Rules ==
 
-
 
-
 
-
In the Metis environment, a rule is a determinate method for performing a logical or mathematical operation and obtaining a certain result which is the building block of the modeling part (configurator). It is based on a simple structure and logic which can be used in an endless number of cases and will suit most of the requirements for material and service configuration.

| The goal is to determine an output quantity within several ranges of input values. The rule allows to enter several 'Q from' and 'Q to' to determine those ranges. They each then induce a specific 'Q out' which will be used as a quantity for the output.

| This very performing rule enables the automatic selection of the best alternative depending on the output quantity required and the related price. This rule is particularly appreciated in selecting products when one input corresponds to several possible output results.

-
 
-
| For very complex rules, an external file might be used to implement them in Metis Smart Modeling. The purpose of this rule type is to allow the development of algorithms which may not be handled in Metis.

== Variables ==
 
-
 
-
 
-
A variable is a symbolic name given to some quantity, for the purpose of allowing the name to be used independently of the information it represents. The scope of a variable is local to the [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Models|model]] it is used in. On the other hand, its extend is limited to the [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Group_of_Rules|group of rules]] its used as an input or output. The value linked to a variable may change during the execution of a [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Models|model]].

== Linked Values ==
 
-
 
-
The Linked Values section allows the definition of values to be linked to basic Metis elements like the types of offers, [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Systems|systems]] and variants used in [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Models|models]]. These values affect the [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Masks|masks]] and [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Rules|rules]] used by the [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Models|models]] and allow them to use for example the type of an offer as an input in a [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Rules|rules]].

== Debug ==
 
-
 
-
A debugger or debugging tool is included in Metis Smart Modeling. It is used to test and debug [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Models|models]] . The debugger also offer more sophisticated functions such as running a [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Models|model]]  step by step (single-stepping or program animation), stopping (breaking) (pausing the program to examine the current state) at some event or specified instruction by means of a breakpoint, and tracking the values of some [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Variables|variables]].
