- evaluate(): the core body of the PMP with the mathematical formulation of its physical behavior;
- consistencyCheck(): the check of consistency / validity of the input parameters ;
- description(): the unique name of the PMP and an optional description (but highly recommended in order to show the user its characteristics and its scope of application);
- Input: the input parameters of the PMP (see section 14.3.1).

An example of a PMP (simple Dual-Slop model, similar to IEEE 802.11 Model C) is presented below. Note that the consistency check is separately shown in section 14.3.2. The input parameter are presented in Figure 331 332 and the algorithm is presented in Figure 332333. The panel of the simple Dual-Slop model in SEAMCAT is shown in Figure 333334.
