Several simulation programs are used to build and/or simulate insect, disease, and crop models. However, those programs have a limitation in containing all kinds of model with a common template. Each insect, disease, and crop model is composed of several individual stages and each stage have one more functions, values, and condition value or functions. Those were too different from stages and from insect, disease, and crop models to make a common template. The more programs have a capacity to support various type of stage template, the harder users use the programs. Two factors, I thought, were needed in an omnipotent simulator to be used in insect, disease, and/or crop model. One is building stages or basic unit of model with various linkage and another is a common template of stages or basic unit of model. An algorism for the first factor was created to build and link stages freely and embedded in PopModel program  in 2012. In 2013,  a calculation management system was created to be used a template including functions, values, etc. And the system was embedded in PopModel 1.0 BASE.  PopModel 1.0 BASE was designed as a calculator and also simple simulator.
