### Modgen Prerequisites

To run Modgen applications on a PC, the Modgen Prerequisites have to be installed. This program is free and can be downloaded from the Statistics Canada Website at:

### Model and Parameters

The User-Version of DYNAMIS-POP 2.22 is available at:

- **DYNAMIS-POP User version** [dynamis-pop-2-22-user-package.zip](http://www.dms-c.com/dynamis/downloads/dynamis-pop-2-22-user-package.zip)

Unpacking the dynamis-pop-2-0-22-user.zip creates a folder with both a 32 and a 64 bit version of the DYNAMIS-POP model, and a subfolder "scenarios" containing all scenarios used in this guide as well as the synthetic starting population file. A folder Examples contains the Excel workbooks of the analysis examples given in this guide.

The two Model executables are:

- **DYNAMIS-POP.exe** (32 bit) This version allows the editing of all parameter tables and - after running a scenario - makes all output tables accessible within the user interface. The downside of this version is that it only allows simulations requiring less than 4GB of RAM. Required RAM for DYNAMIS-POP depends on the simulation horizon, the number of parallel replicates run simultaneously, the selected sample size, and the scope of selected table output. For a simulation of a single replicate until 2060 selecting all available tables of DYNAMIS-POP, this limit lies at a starting population size of around 750.000 persons. We recommend this version for training and testing; for most training purposes, a single model run with 50.000 persons will be sufficient.
- **DYNAMIS-POP64.exe** (64 bit) This version removes the 4G RAM limitation; the maximum RAM is limited by the available RAM on the PC. For the analysis examples presented in this guide we were running 6 replicates with an population size of 250.000 persons each. Unlike the 32 bit version, the display of parameters and output tables is not supported in this version. To use it, a scenario has to be prepared and saved - and after running a simulation all results can be displayed - using the 32bit version.
