Simio
Developed by: S. LLC
Available at:
http://www.simio.com/
Abstract
Simio combines Object-Oriented Simulation with Discrete Event, Continuous, and Agent-Based Simulation. Simio implements several technical innovations to overcome the scalability and difficulty of use problems common in most O-O products. While Simio's standard library of objects includes some sophisticated manufacturing objects (like accumulating conveyors that merge), it remains general purpose to effectively model many common applications. The included full 3D animation produces compelling animation. The ability to modify and define intelligent objects using process graphs without programming, makes simulation software easier for decision-makers to use.

Abstract
SimApp is a simple dynamic simulation software tool for modeling continuous systems in the time and frequency domains. The computer simulation model is built visually through block diagrams. These signal-flow diagrams can represent a virtually unlimited range of continuous systems. Models may be represented in a matrix form (continuous or discrete), or as difference equations for digital controllers. SimApp can also be used to evaluate analog feedback systems or digital systems implemented in a controller.

Abstract
SimWiz (Simulation Wizard) is a computer program for defining, validating, communicating and running a discrete event simulation model. It is a totally new approach to help the user in various steps of a simulation project. Its user friendliness is a result of special features that cannot be found in other simulation software. The model is built as a result of the responses to steps of the wizard, it is stated in a human-readable format that can be understood by laymen and can be communicated easily, output may be encoded to camouflage trade secrets and variance reduction techniques are automatically done. The model can be translated to an Arena model.

Abstract
AnyLogic is a multi paradigm simulation tool that brings together System Dynamics, Process-centric (AKA Discrete Event), and Agent Based approaches within one modeling language and one model development environment. AnyLogic set of primitives and library objects allows you to model manufacturing and logistics, business processes, human resources, consumers' and patients' behavior, as well as the environment (the ``background'') in their natural interaction. The object-oriented model design paradigm supported by AnyLogic provides for modular and incremental construction of large models. AnyLogic can deploy both Java applets and applications.
