Introduction

This chapter describes the analytical solvers that are available in the TANGRAM-II tool. The solvers are selected using either the Analytical Model Solution or Simulation buttons. The model has to be fully specified using the Model Specification Module. Before solving the model analytically, the user has to generate the proper mathematical model using the Mathematical Model Generation button.

All analytical solvers require the generation of the mathematical model, i.e. the state space and the state transition rate matrix for Markovian models. Therefore the Mathematical Model Module must be executed before we are able to use any of the analytical solvers.
