Extend: the Extend simulation environment

Abstract

The Extend simulation environment provides the tools for all levels of modelers to efficiently create accurate and credible models. Extend's modern, advanced design and rich feature set reduce the amount of time developing, validating, verifying, and analyzing simulation models. Model builders can use Extend's pre-built modeling components to quickly build and analyze systems with little or no programming. Simulation tool developers can use Extend's built-in, compiled language, ModL, to develop new reusable modeling components. All of this is done within a single, self-contained software program that does not require external interfaces, compilers, or code generators.
