If there is any chance to let me get your help,please contact with: C.K.Chow email addr:unit211@twnmoe10.edu.tw telephone :(886)2-298-3456 ext 333 FAX :(886)2-298-2200 Best Regards! ------------------------------ Newsgroups: comp.simulation Path: centi!kencham From: kencham@centi.cs.umn.edu (Deepak Kenchammana-Hosekote) Subject: Any CSIM users out there?

Hence, this re-post: Do any of you use CSIM? If so, I'd like some 'real' sample code (if you don't mind). I am planning to use it for my MS project and was looking for some 'gurus' who could give me the - do's and don'ts of CSIM. Any DB simulation code will be most helpful, though others will also do! Thanks, in advance. \deepak \PS I will summarize any responses that I get to this posting if there is a request. ------------------------------ To: comp-simulation@uunet.UU.NET Path: ford.ee.up.ac.za!not-for-mail From: charl@ford.ee.up.ac.za (Charl Barnard) Newsgroups: comp.simulation Subject: Virtual reality : leaders Date: 2 Feb 1993 16:23:41 +0200 Organization: Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Pretoria Summary: I am looking for the leaders in the field in virtual reality, both academic and commercial Keywords: simulation, virtual reality Content-Length: 436 X-Lines: 12 Im very interested in the field of virtual reality, and I'm wondering who to contact for more information on what has been achieved so far, who the main commercial players in the field are, and the hardware and software tools used in the development in virtual reality products. If anybody can provide any guidelines on whom to contact, it would be highly appreciated if you could e-mail me at : charl@ford.ee.up.ac.za Charl Barnard ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Feb 93 16:19:22 CST From: AVUTU RAVEENDRA RE To: fishwick@fish.cis.ufl.edu Content-Length: 599 X-Lines: 11 I am interested in knowing if anyone has experiences using USE. The USE(universal simulation environment) is a software package to simulate your own system, with multiple processors, memory and other resources. You can define the system on which you want to simulate your jobs. This USE is a powerful package in studying the simulation results. It has many built in facilities like debugger, converter(to convert the job file to hexadecimal code) etc.,. That's all I have information about it. If you have any information or knowledge of these types of software packages, please send me. Will be appreciated.

McArthur Newsgroups: comp.simulation Subject: Re: SIMULATION DIGEST V31 N2 References: <38425@uflorida.cis.ufl.edu> Content-Length: 485 X-Lines: 8 Can anyone out there help me?? I need some powerful business process simulation software. PC based, cost up to $10, 000. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. I have already tried SIMANCINEMA, SIMPROCESS, and SIMFACTORY and I have not been too impressed. Also can anyone recommend PC based software that can simulate product pricing strategies?? This software must be able to handle multiple input variables as probability distributions. Thank you in advance. PAUL ------------------------------ Newsgroups: comp.simulation Path: siena From: siena@skidmore.EDU (Robert DeSieno) Subject: undergraduate course in simulation Organization: Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs NY Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1993 19:50:32 GMT Apparently-To: Content-Length: 1417 X-Lines: 30 I'm designing a course in elementary simulation of physical and chemical behavior in nature. I want to offer the course to undergraduate students who have completed introductory courses in physics and chemistry and a first course in CS (concerned with algorithm design and elementary data structures.) I want to employ computing to explore fundamental ideas in such topics as motion of bodies, energy transfer, optics, electricity and magnetism, and equilibrium behavior in chemical systems. I'm searching for ways to help students explore these topics with the aid of a computer and appropriate software. The students would design algorithms that express the behavior of particular systems and then study variations in the behavior of the systems as the parameters that influence the system are changed. To complement this approach, I'd also like to employ software that does not require the students to write algorithms, but allows them to use a computer to observe the behavior of physical systems which are moderately more complex than those they can explore with their own algorithms and programs. Our students will be working with networked PC's (Intel 386 or 486 processors.) I'd appreciate suggestions on texts, materials, and software that others have found to be useful in the context that I've described. Please send your suggestions directly to my internet address and NOT to this newsgroup.

If you have any comments or suggestions as to the content of the archive, or if you have any contributions for any of the topics below, I would be grateful if you could get in touch with me via e-mail with your comments: Topics: - Which programs of these disciplines are existing/are you using? - Which programs are still used? (e.g: fhdl-cad, vhdl, edif, galaxy, xgraph, sigview, gks, chipmunk-CAD ...) - Which versions of the programs are current? - Is the software running on HP 9000/7xx or portable? - From where did you get your software up to now? - Do you want to publish software? - Do you have documentation about programs? (Each program could be mentioned in ASK-SISY, which supplies an online-search for programs reachable e.g. via telnet, gopher and wais) Many thanks ...
