So how is this done? Here is a step-by-step recipe.
| I. | Set up a small data set representing the full model with all structural features, set names, parameters etc. |
| II. | Implement all data calculations, model features and report writing calculations. |
| III. | Exhaustively check the results of Step b. |
| IV. | Save the small model. Then implement a full version with the full data set. In doing this create separate files for data, calculation, model definition and report writing so size independence is maintained. (Use include or save restart). |
| V. | Test the larger model. Use the small part of large model techniques below to facilitate your work. |
| VI. | Keep the small model alive. As additional structural features are added to the large model use it to test them. |
