Abstract
This chapter describes some of the main aspects of communication between modelling systems. First of all, local disc formats are described, since this is a basis for other data exchange. Data exchange can be divided into roughly two categories: standardised data exchange; and non-standardised data exchange. Standardised data exchange is formal, done once, but sometimes bulky. Non-standardised data exchange often means that code has to be specially written or adapted.
