Abstract

In this paper I will assume that a simulation model has been developed and the study team is faced with the question, “now that we have built a simulation model, what do we do with it?” The theme is that the three common modes of simulation output, animations, plots, and numbers compliment one another and are all important; however, they are often used in an inappropriate manner. Watching the type of output to the objectives of the analysis is critical. This paper discusses this theme and gives the major references for the tutorial to be presented at the conference. Most technical details will be given during the presentation. All comments presented here are my opinions and I welcome debate.
