7. Simple Mode
The code used in the Simple mode is the same, but some parameters are fixed to general values. The input dialog for the Simple Mode looks like this:
The fixed parameters are: 
  • A = 0.0, C = 0.5: Random distribution of foliage orientation
  • B = 10000 m2: Fixed size of the domain
  • m2 = 2: Fixed distribution of the trees to a value close to the random case.
  • WE=0.8, which gives WE=0.9; Fixed clumping in branches.
  • Fr = 0.0: No repulsion effect [May change with canopy properties in future versions]
  • n=30 as default, but if D/n > 150, n = D/150 to take care of some large density case that causes problems numerically.
  • The model runs in the version 3.2 mode only.
  • For conifer    Ws = 0.08;  gE=1.4: typical values.
  • For deciduous  Ws = 0.05;    gE=1: No clumping at the shoot level (i.e., no shoots)
