Abstract

This paper demonstrates that despite the trend to Point & Click environments, the traditional approach of using general-purpose simulation languages is still eligible. The authors share their experiences gained from building a complex simulation using the language SLX™. On the basis of examples from the projects, the efficient modeling features of the SLX languages are highlighted.
