Alembic Systems announces Simulation Kit - OBJECT ORIENTED SIMULATION
ANALYSIS on NEXTSTEP!
Englewood COLORADO, January 18, 1994- Alembic Systems announced
today the distribution of Simulation Kit, a collection of objects
specifically developed for continuous system modeling and simulation
on NEXTSTEP computers.
Alembic currently distributes over 160 NEXTSTEP based software/hardware
products worldwide directly as well as through a variety of channels,
including resellers, and distributors. Alembic is based in the
United States, with branch offices in the United Kingdom.

SIMULATION KIT
The Simulation Kit is the first collection of objects specifically developed
for continuous system modeling and simulation on NEXTSTEP computers. Coupled
with the NEXTSTEP application development environment, the Simulation Kit
provides the ideal context for developing and analyzing object-oriented
simulations.
APPLICATIONS
A powerful and easy-to-use tool for modeling, analyzing, and teaching linear
and nonlinear continuous systems, numerical integration, and the numerical
solution of differential equations, Simulation Kit is ideal for applications
such as:
* Numerical Analysis
* Mechanical Engineering
* Electrical Engineering
* Thermodynamics
* Chemical Engineering
* Control Systems
ADVANCED FEATURES
The Simulation Kit provides several capabilities which are unavailable
in other simulation packages. Such features include:
* Process - Generates output values based upon its input and
parameter values. Examples are gains, summers, and multipliers.
* Active Process - Generates output values in a similar manner to
Processes, but maintains an internal state and uses one or more
Clocks as a time base. Examples are integrators and sample-and-holds.
* Clock - Causes the evaluation of Active Processes at specified
times. Examples are fixed-increment clocks and one-shot timers.
* Signal - Permits the output of a process (Process, Active Process,
or Composite) to drive inputs of other processes.
* Composite - Allows several processes (connected by Signals) to
be grouped together and treated as a single process in a higher
context.
* Simulation - Manages the execution sequences of processes to
allow the model to be simulated in the desired manner.
* Expression - Provides a mechanism for process parameters to be
specified in terms of higher-context parameters.
The object-oriented nature of the Simulation Kit allows simulation
elements to be independently validated. In addition, structuring,
sequencing, and execution of the simulation is performed by the
core objects without direct user intervention. This means that more
time can be spent validating the simulation rather than debugging
it.
