⚠️ Notice to Users
The Getting Started documentation and associated Tutorials for this SyncroSim package currently reflects information for SyncroSim version 2. We are in the process of updating these pages to ensure compatibility with SyncroSim version 3. In the meantime, please note that some instructions, references, and/or images may not fully align with the latest version of SyncroSim.

What is a state-and transition simulation model?
Watch our 13 minute video introducing the state-and-transition simulation model (STSM) approach for projecting landscape change.
Getting started with ST-Sim: creating a simple non-spatial model
This tutorial will provide you with an overview of how to use the ST-Sim software to develop a simple state-and-transition simulation model.
Spatial models in ST-Sim
In this tutorial we learn how to take a non-spatial model (such as the model created in Getting started with ST-Sim) and transform it into a spatial model. You will learn how to run spatial models as well as how to create and edit maps of spatial outputs in ST-Sim.
Note that a copy of the ST-Sim library produced in the previous tutorial Getting Started with ST-Sim and used at the beginning of this Spatial models in ST-Sim can be found here. Extract the contents of the ZIP file to your computer and select File | Open Library... in ST-Sim to navigate to this Spatial models in ST-Sim.ssim file and select Open.
Adding spatial dynamics to ST-Sim
In this tutorial, we will import spatial initial condition raster files and simulate spatially explicit events by defining a size distribution for fire transitions in ST-Sim.
