Abstract :
JaamSim is a free, open-source simulation package written in the Java programming language. A modern graphical user interface is provided that is comparable to commercial software, including drag-and-drop model building, an Input Editor, Output Viewer, and 3D graphics. Users are able to create their own palettes of high-level objects using standard Java and modern programming tools such as Eclipse. If you are writing hundreds or thousands of lines of code in the proprietary programming language provided with your commercial software, you would be far better off to write your code in Java and use JaamSim.
