Dear Harrison, My understanding is that you need to save each elementary summation/multiplication in an intermediate model with a new name, because brackets is not working. And combine models step by step using only A+B or A*B operations. This should work if one reads the documentation. Another solution is to do it from a jupyter notebook.
From my own experience, calling a sum of 3 or 4 models works directly ! :) But I never tried a similar situation to yours when both + and * are combined.
Good luck !

So I tried and failed. I've forwarded your message to the developers mailing list. Hopefully somebody will know the answer?

I am currently trying to build a reasonably complex model within sasview and have gone to the guide on how to manage this. I see in the documentation (SasView-6.1.3/sas/docs/user/qtgui/Perspectives/Fitting/fitting_help.html) that to achieve this one creates a 'simple' model combining two established models, then opens the model in the model editor. One can then add/multiply several different functions together by editing the text after 'load_model_info'. My question is how do I account for multiplying several summed models by a single other model, as brackets seemingly cannot be used. AKA how do I achieve the following sort of functions: (sphere + gaussian_peak + sphere)*user_defined_fractal_model ((sphere + gaussian_peak) + sphere)*user_defined_fractal_model ((sphere + sphere)*user_defined_fractal_model) + gaussian_peak Any insight you have would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much.
