The simple network is constituted of seven reactions. The reactions: Desired, Biomass and substrate represents the production of the biological coumpound of interest, the formation of biomass and the uptake of metabolite M1 from surrounding media, respectively.

The coefficient of reaction <b>R2</b> (M1->M3) are such that two molecules of M1 create one molecule of M3, while the stoichiometric coefficients of all other reactions reflect a one-to-one relationship between molecule quantities.

* 1 - Press '''proceed to filtering''' or use the context menu (depicted in the above screenshot).
<b>6. <i>Selected Environmental Conditions</i></b>
+
* 2 - You will be presented with the following dialog
  
You can define the environmental conditions if you have created any.

+
* 3 - You should select which external metabolites you want to appear in the filtered conversions. The whole set of calculated net conversions will be filtered based on those choices. You should also select the desired yield. In the example all the filters are select to ''Don't Care'', meaning that no filtering will actually be applied. The yield is defined as A_ext (Input) -> P_ext (Output). After the filtering step you should expect the following scenario.

* 4 - In this panel you can browse the result of your filtering procedure. You can execute multiple filtring steps over the initial results, they will be added as a list on the bottom of those same original results (in the clipboard).
Pressing it will launch three viewers.

**This view allows sorting the conversions based on any column criteria (Conversion ID, Conversion Equation (Alphabetically), Biomass-Coupled Yield (BCY), Substrate-Product Yield (SPY) or Substrate-Biomass Yield (SBY)).
