Modeling SEGS by empirical model SAM 2016.3.14

Dear SAM users;
I found some additional documents related with the SEGS VI.
I revised some of the items.
Please find the SEGSVI20160515Saracoglu.sam file for the SEGS VI original configuration model (draft revision 15/05/2016).
There is not any error in this draft SAM model of the SEGS VI.
Most of the items are from library.
If you know SEGS VI, please check it and tell me any missing item or wrong item on it.
I try to contact to the researchers and the engineers who worked on the SEGS to verify all of the items to present to SAM users as final in this summer (2016).
Your consideration and help will be very much appreciated.
Best Regards
Burak Omer Saracoglu

Dear SAM users;
I found some additional documents related with the SEGS VI.
I revised the 1st draft model file according to some additional documents related with the SEGS VI.
Please find the SEGSVI20160515Saracoglu_2016_08_21.sam file for the SEGS VI original configuration model (draft 1st revision 21/08/2016).
There is not any error in this draft SAM model of the SEGS VI.
I will continue on working this model and also many other models.
If you know SEGS VI, please check it and tell me any missing item or wrong item on it.
Please feel free to use this file in your studies such as PhD. Thesis, MSc. Thesis.
Your consideration and help will be very much appreciated.
