This lesson is structured to go through the steps of designing an ABM. For each step, you will first try it on your own. Then, you'll get to see the way the authors of this lesson would do it. It doesn't mean your way is wrong if it is different than ours, because there are always multiple ways to model something, but it will be helpful to have something to compare against.
In accordance with the ABM design principle to start simple and build toward the question you want to answer, our model will be of a solid diffusion couple of two very similarly sized elements (in fact we will treat them as the same size for now) and we will model the atomic lattice in two dimensions using a square lattice.
The Fire Model you worked with is below as a reference, because some of the steps reference it as an example.
