The Automatic Simulator Generation System (ASG) is the first CAD tool which can automatically generate simulators, along with all simulation models. Also, as in the case that a certain simulator is already being used, it can be used as an automatic model generator to upgrade the capability of the simulator. Using this system, simulation automation can be achieved by providing the same environment for model generation and simulation.
