Abstract

SimSelect is a system developed for the purpose of providing support for users when selecting simulation software. SimSelect consists of a database which is linked to an interface developed using Visual Basic 3.0. The system queries a database and finds a simulation package suitable to the user, based on requirements which have been specified. It also provides a recommendation of alternative packages suitable to the user, and allows prioritisation of requirements in levels of importance. This paper provides an insight into the development of SimSelect, in addition to the reasoning behind the system.
