| When the user opens User Interface the interface will look very similar to [[SASSI:PREP]] interface. Unlike Prep, on entry to the User Interface there is an empty model ready to be used without requiring the use of the new Menu option to create or load a model the user should consult the [[:Getting Started]] topic. When the model is ready for simulation the user can launch the required [[ :Modules ]] directly from the User Interface without having to go to [[SASSI:Main]]. The File conversion processes from [[SASSI:Converters| File Converter]] has been expanded and allows the user to directly input model data into User Interface without need to write a [[file:pre]] first. | When the user opens User Interface the interface will look very similar to [[SASSI:PREP]] interface.

| The User Interface shares no code with PREP, MAIN or the File Converter which it replaces. Difference between the Prep and User Interface interfaces and functionality were kept as minimal as possible to help users transition to the new version of ACS-SASSI. | The User Interface shares no code with PREP, MAIN or the File Converter which it replaces.

| - | The first new capability of the User Interface is the ability to open and use multiple models at the same time. User Interface has a state machine protocol for accessing and creating new models. All commands and user interface options affect the current active model. User should be familiar with this concept because it is the same way that the [[com:GROUP]] and [[com:E|Element]] commands worked in Prep and continue to work in User Interface. All models in the User Interface are referenced by positive integer number with the default model (empty model on opening) number being 0. To access any model the user must use the [[com:ACTM]] command | + | The first new capability of the User Interface is the ability to open and use multiple models at the same time.

| - | The [[SASSI:size limitations]] on models has changed in the latest version of SASSI. It was found that many functions of Prep are very inefficient when dealing with models that are close to the limit of SASSI. First, when Loading an [[file:pre]] only the comments in the file and errors encounter are reported to the command history. The command entry and acceptance shown in the command history during input dramatically slows down the input process and with volume of commands in a larger model will overwrite the error. This sped input of a pre file that take 15 minutes in PREP to under a minute in the User Interface. The User Interface uses OpenGL 4.0 for graphics which allow for better display of large models. Finally the internal storage format of data in the User Interface was changed to decrease the memory needed to store each model. | + | The [[SASSI:size limitations]] on models has changed in the latest version of SASSI. Users have the ability to generate models with up to 999999 nodes. Other model restrictions have not changed. |
