Model creation
==============

While MEmilio already preimplements many different models, it is possible to create new models. This section describes how to create a new model in MEmilio. All of MEmilio's models have been designed to share a maximum of structure and functionality, however, the creation of a new aggregated model differs fundamentally from the creation of a new individual-based model. New metapopulation models are generally created by implementing an aggregated model in a graph structure.
In addition, MEmilio also provides an :doc:`extension<sbml>` to create models from `Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) <https://sbml.org/>`_ files. 
For compartmental ODE models, MEmilio additionally provides a :doc:`Model Generator </python/m-modelgenerator>` that creates C++ model code and Python bindings from a YAML or TOML specification.
