Given the complexity involved in a flux-transport-type dynamo driven by both Babcock Leighton and tachocline α effects, we present here a step-by-step procedure for building a flux-transport dynamo model calibrated to the Sun as a guide for anyone who wishes to build this kind of model. We show that a plausible sequence of steps to reach a converged solution in such a dynamo consists of (i) numerical integration of a classical α ω dynamo driven by a tachocline α effect, (ii) continued integration with inclusion of meridional circulation to convert the model into a flux-transport dynamo driven by only a tachocline α effect, (iii) final integration with inclusion of a Babcock Leighton surface α effect, resulting in a flux-transport dynamo that can be calibrated to obtain a close fit of model output with solar observations.
