Abstract
A software system for continuous system simulation, having an interactive graphics capability, is described. Inasmuch as the system uses reasonably priced, commercially available graphics hardware, it has wide potential utility. The system uses the IBM 360 Continuous System Modeling Program (CSMP) and has a simple command language to control the CSMP problem. The user enters commands at the key board of the graphics terminal to initiate simulation runs, change parameter values, and display graphs of problem variables. The system maintains a file which permits the user to display curves from earlier runs and thereby to readily obtain insight into the effect of parameter changes.
