Existing operating models are available in the Operating Model Library. The OM Excel files can be downloaded and imported using XL2OM described here.

The OMs in the Operating Model Library are also available in the MSEextra package:

# downloads MSEextra package from GitHub
MSEextra()
# load the MSEextra package
library(MSEextra)

The avail function can be used to determine the OM objects that are available in the R session:

# includes the MSEextra OMs
avail('OM')
