Introduction to SIMAN/Cinema

SIMAN/Cinema V is a general-purpose simulation language and animation system designed to model discrete event, continuous, and combined discrete/ continuous systems. SIMAN/Cinema V are best known today as the core technologies of the Arena Simulation System. Arena, an object-based simulation development system, provides an environment for analysts to rapidly develop SIMAN/Cinema V applications by interacting with high-level graphical objects. This paper presents an overview of the SIMAN/Cinema V modeling capabilities and describes some of the recent enhancements to the software.
