\label{sec:calculation-of-gauge-couplings}
The low-scale constraint matches the SUSY model to the Standard Model.
Currently \fs allows only SUSY models with semisimple gauge groups,
which contain the Standard Model gauge group $\SUc\times\SUL\times\UY$
as factor. This enables \fs to directly identify the strong,
left-handed and hypercharge gauge couplings $g_i$ ($i=1,2,3$).
The low-scale constraint automatically calculates the \DRbar\ gauge
couplings $g_{i,\text{susy}}^{\text{\DRbar}}(M_Z)$ in the SUSY model
at the scale $M_Z$. It starts from the known electromagnetic and

At the low-scale the \DRbar\ Yukawa coupling matrices
$y_f^{\text{\DRbar}}(M_Z)$ ($f=u,d,e$) in the SUSY model are
calculated automatically if the user has set $y_f$ to the value
\code{Automatic} in the \fs model file. This is done for example in
The considered SUSY model is required to contain the three generations
of Standard Model quarks and leptons. If these particles acquire
their masses due to Yukawa interactions with Higgs doublets, then the
$3\times 3$ Yukawa matrices $y_f$ ($f=u,d,e$) can be calculated
automatically in the \DRbar\ scheme at the scale $M_Z$ from the known
Standard Model fermion masses by setting $y_f$ to the value
\code{Automatic} in the \fs model file.

This is done for example in
the CMSSM model file in \secref{sec:modfile}. In this case \fs
expresses the Yukawa couplings in terms of the fermion mass matrices
