As you can see, the Main Frame window contains a smaller frame at the bottom. This frame provides much
of your interaction with the system once you have a model running. Notice now in particular the empty
rectangular lower portion of the frame. It is the Output Window. The system talks to you through this
window. Notice that this window as well as many other text views in AnyBody can contain active links like in
a HTML browser. These links can help you navigate faster around in the system.
As computer software goes, AnyBody is much like any other Computer-Aided Engineering tool. You can
create data from scratch, you can read in previously defined data, and you can exchange data between
models. Once you have your data in place, you can perform various actions on it. Let us begin by creating a
new AnyScript model. The menu clicks File -> New Main will bring up a new window in which you can
construct your model using the AnyScript language.
