1. User guide: This part is written manually, and it is meant to help you learn and understand SIMPLE. This part is mainly focused on users. For example, (in the future) it might help you migrate from other tools—if you wanted to—, to understand best building-modelling practices, and so on. If you are looking for information regarding math and equations, then you'd better be looking at the developer documentation (e.g., this). The developer documentation is meant not only for people who want to code but also for people who want to understand the internals of SIMPLE.
2. Input/Output Reference guide: This is an automatically generated guide, is updated every time the source code of SIMPLE's input model is updated. This section is meant to be a reference guide, helping
