            Abstract : 
In performance studies of vehicular ad hoc networks, intelligent simulation tools like NS-2 plays an important role. Since Tcl scripts are widely used, we have implemented a new tool which is MyTool for generating Tcl scripts file. In this work, we introduce the specific characteristics of MyTool and discuss its features compared with NSG2 (NS-2 Scenarios Generator 2). In later section, we illustrate one wireless communication network´s example to explain how MyTool does work to build up communication network, create the Tcl script files and finally run the simulation in NS-2.
