Model Structure
Overview
This section explains how a Valsight model is fundamentally structured and how its core building blocks work together. It provides a conceptual understanding of how calculations, data, and scenarios are organized to form a coherent and scalable model.
The goal of this section is to help you understand how models are composed and connected, so you can reason about existing models and design new ones with confidence.
What you’ll find in this section
Nodes – the calculation and value elements that make up a model
Baselines – alternative logic variants for scenarios and comparisons
Submodels – nested models used to organize related logic
Annotations – visual elements that document and structure models
Who this section is for
This section is relevant for users who:
Want to understand how a model is conceptually built in Valsight
Work with existing models and need to interpret their structure
Plan or design models that go beyond simple, flat calculations
It is especially useful once you move from isolated calculations to larger, interconnected models.
How this section fits into Valsight
The model structure described here is the foundation of Valsight, defining the calculation logic and business drivers that all scenarios, simulations, and visualizations build on and reference.
