Simulation is a powerful tool for system analysis and decision sup port. Managers need sophisticated simulation tools to support time-critical decisions. This paperpresents an intelligent simula tion environment which provides the manager with analytical sup port through a user friendly interface. Using natural language, the user can build system dynamics simulation models. The applica tion domain is multi-level production distribution systems. DYNAMO code for the model is automatically generated.
