3. Lessons • Introduction • Simulation Program Selection • Model Translation Section Content • Program Organization

4. 1. Introduction • The objective: to translate the system into a computer model that can be used togenerate experimental data. • This is a two-step process: • Decide what type of computer program to utilize to model the system. • Perform the programming of the simulation model.

5. 2. Simulation Program Selection • The choice of a particular simulationsoftware package may be based on: • Advances in computer hardware • Software cost • Practitioner preference • Simulation-Specific Programming Languages: • Arena • Automod • Simscript

6. 3. Model Translation Section Content • Thisphilosophy includes approaches for programming the model: • Getting started • Version management • Programming commenting • Program organization • Mnemonic naming conventions • Advanced program planning • Multiple practitioner program development

7. 4. Program Organization • Why simulation programs can easily become disorganized • How to use subroutines and subroutine views • Programming hot keys • Mnemonic naming conventions • Thinking in advance

8. The End • Discussion. • Question and answer. • Case study.
