Simulation is used increasingly throughout research and development for many purposes. While model output is often the primary interest, insights into the system gained through the simulation process can also be valuable. These insights can come from building and validating the model as well as analyzing its behaviors and output; however, much that could be informative may not be easily discernible through traditional approaches, particularly for complex models. The author is developing an analysis tool to provide simulation modelers with additional information about the models they are using. The focus is to extend the information available. A key component is a compiler for a C-like language in which modelers specify (code) their models. With the ability to directly monitor and record interactions, additional information could be presented to the modeler in order to facilitate new insights.
