The Extend simulation environment

Abstract

The Extend modeling environment provides an integrated structure for building simulation models and developing new simulation tools. This environment supports simulation modelers on a wide range of levels. Model builders can use Extend's pre-built modeling components to quickly build and analyze systems without programming. Simulation tool developers can use Extend's built-in, compiled language, ModL to develop new modeling components. All of this is done within a single, self-contained software program that does not require external interfaces, compilers, or code generators.
