Simulation & Modeling Software

We can understand computer simulation language as the language which describes operation of a simulation on a computer. It can be broadly categorized in following two categories: 1. continuous 2. Discrete event Many lnguages have a graphical interface and are capable of performing simple statistical analysis of the results. While using discrete-event languages we can easily generate pseudo-random numbers and determine variables using different probability distributions. Some of the Discrete event and continuous language packages have been listed below: AutoMod eM-Plant Arena ExtendSim simulation environment for discrete event, continuous, discrete-rate and agent-based simulation.[1] GASP GPSS Plant Simulation Simio software for discrete event, continuous, and agent-based simulation.[2] SimPLE++ SimPy, an open-source package based on Python SIMSCRIPT II.5, a well established commercial compiler Simula Java Modelling Tools, an open-source package with grap
