SIMSCRIPT II.5 v. 3 Release Notes and Archive

New Example Programs

New and updated set of SIMSCRIPT II.5 example programs - is in directory sim_examples, located in directory where SIMSCRIPT II.5 is installed. There are several subdirectories:

sim_examples/__simstudio_projects - contains new and updated SIMSCRIPT II.5 examples, organized as Projects. From Simstudio, open some of these projects like calship. They all work using new SIMSCRIPT II.5 Graphics.

See the new Network Editor example - NetEdit. It can be used as a framework to jump-start building many simulation applications where you need to build a network of nodes and links by point-and-click. By changing palette icons, this editor can be used in many application areas: communication networks, computer networks, computer architecture, factory simulations, military simulations etc.

sim_examples/_simdemo - contains SIMSCRIPT II.5 examples which can be invoked using command simdemo. To try them open command window and type simdemo. Example programs will be copied to the directory simdemos.

sim_examples/_sdbc - contains example programs which illustrate SIMSCRIPT II.5 Data Base Connectivity.

sim_examples/_book_examples - contains example programs from the following text books:

• Introduction to Simulation using SIMSCRIPT II.5 by Averill M. Law, PhD
• Building Simulation Models using SIMSCRIPT II.5 by Edward C. Russell, PhD
• Introduction to Combined Discrete-Continuous Simulation Using SIMSCRIPT II.5 by Abdel-Moaty M Fayek PhD

sim_examples/_simple_graphics - contains very simple, basic graphics examples, like: opening a graphics window, using icon as a background, reading from multiple graphics libraries, etc.

sim_examples/_advanced_graphics - contains small examples which illustrate usage of some advanced graphics features like: setting graph attributes at run-time, creating tree object etc.

sim_examples/_non_graphics - contains small simulation examples with textual input and output.
