Abstract
OPNET uses a three-layer modeling mechanism. The three model layers are, from top to bottom, the network layer, node layer, and process layer. Modeling starts from these three elements. In this chapter, we design a basic OPNET sensor network model and offer the source code to readers. The model source code is analyzed. The network model, node model, result collection model, energy model, and animation model are introduced in detail. Finally, four experiments are run. This chapter gives readers a comprehensive knowledge of OPNET simulation using a basic model and, at the same time, is a reference to subsequent chapters.
