a. Toolbar: (discussed below)
b. Simulator controls: Sets the time parameters and runs the simulation; see Program Execution.
c. Programming Pane: Used for specifying global variables and functions; for submodels, also used to specify Properties and Methods.
d. Model Canvas: Design platform for component-based models.
e. Dashboard: Contains controls and visualizing elements for use during simulation execution.
f. Console: provides interactive access to the Nova runtime interpreter.
g. Capsule set: lists main and submodel capsules used in this project.
