26. tRIBS Visualization Modules This document contains instructions on accessing and operating the tRIBS Visualization Module designed to facilitate the input creation parameterization usage and output visualization inspection analysis for the TIN based Real time Integrated Basin Simulator tRIBS model developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology This module is available as an individual application tRibsIO or embedded as a module on CUENCAS The tRIBS Visualization Module does not execute the tRIBS code itself The user is responsible for carrying this out on the appropriate platform from a tRIBS executable The Input Module will simply help in the preparation of the input files while the Output Module is used to visualize model output generated independently by the user 1 Launching CUENCAS or tRibslO CUENCAS and tRIBSIO use Java Webstart technology for installation and upgrading process This entails automatic upgrades via the Internet upon use of the software during each new session This procedure greatly simplifies the process of making the most current version available for all users but requires the user to have web access Java 1 5 or higher and Java3D 1 5 are required for both applications You can download Java for free at http java sun com It is important that you download and install the appropriate Java3D library for your platform For Windows and
