Overview: Sharing models

isee systems provides several ways for you to easily distribute your models to colleagues, students, clients, and others who don't own iThink or STELLA and want to be able to view and run your models.

Each of the following utilities allows users to view and run models created with iThink or STELLA:

• isee Runtime – isee Runtime™ presents your models with a professional, full-screen look and feel so they can be easily shared or commercially distributed. Model users running a model with isee Runtime won’t be distracted by software menus or toolbars. Instead, they will interact with your model via a full-screen graphical user interface that you create using the built-in authoring features of STELLA and iThink. For more information about using isee Runtime, see Overview: isee Runtime.

• isee Player – isee Player™ lets you view, run, print and share STELLA and iThink models for free. With isee Player, model users have access to all toolbars, menus, and model layers, but with restricted editing capabilities. For more information about isee Player and to download a copy for free, visit the isee systems web site.
• isee NetSim – isee NetSim™ allows you to publish your iThink and STELLA models to the Internet or other network so that you to easily share your models with anyone, even if they don't have iThink or STELLA. All they need is a browser with Adobe Flash Player 9 (or higher) support and a connection to the location where you will publish the models (either an Internet connection, or a connection to a Web server that is running isee NetSim Server software). For more information about using isee NetSim, see Overview: isee NetSim.

Note: For information about packaging up models and their supporting files to send to users running iThink or STELLA, or to send to isee support for analysis, see Distributing models to users.
