| This user's guide is designed
to help you as you use BuildSim. The application is linked to this
help website. Whenever you click the "Help" menu item in
BuildSim, the application will open this HTML based help web site
taking you to the appropriate help page. You can then drill down and
get more information for the topic you are trying to get some help
on. One thing to note is that if you tamper with the help files in
the help directory you'll probably make the help system unusable.
So don't mess around with those files.. K :)
What is BuildSim?
BuildSim is a high-performance block diagram based interactive
software application for scientific and engineering simulation.
BuildSim integrates block diagram based simulation with data plotting,
data analysis tools and automatic code generation in an easy-to-use
environment where relatively complex simulations can be built and
tested - without traditional programming.
BuildSim comes with an extensive library of building blocks for
creating simulations. These building blocks are called "BuildBlocks".
The are connected together
to form simulations. They can be organized in a hierarchical fashion.
Simulation, data collection, code generation, plotting and analysis
tools are all integrated into the application.
Who can use BuildSim?
BuildSim was designed for engineeirng students, practicing
engineers and scientists. Its primary purpose is to provide a fast
and easy way to quickly build and execute simulations without all
the pain and suffering of using a "Programming Language"
(C, C++, Java, C#, FORTRAN, etc).
