Numerus Designer models are comprised of one or more Capsules containing interacting Components

The fundamental structural unit for Designer is the Capsule.
A Capsule is comprised of a set of interacting elements called Components.
Each Capsule actually acts as a class, or blueprint for creating one or more instances of its Component set. This is true except for the top-level Capsule, for which there is only a single instance.
When starting a new project, you are provided with an empty canvas on which to design the top-level Capsule. Many models only require a top-level Capsule. Additional Capsules are used to implement Cells and Agents in cellular and/or agent-based models. Capsules are also used to define new Components for use in other Capsules.
