TerraME is a simulation toolbox that supports three modeling paradigms: system dynamics, cellular automata, and agent-based modeling. This tutorial provides an introduction to the basic features of TerraME. It presents the main types of TerraME's base package and how they can work together. It is important to note that not every type presented here is required to create a model. For example, if the model does not have a spatial representation, the concepts of Cell, CellularSpace, Neighborhood, and Trajectory are not necessary.
