Micro Saint Sharp - Micro Analysis and Design, Inc

Everything You Need in Simulation!

Built off the very successful Micro Saint engine, but completely redesigned to be faster, modular and more powerful! Micro Saint Sharp is a general purpose, discrete-event simulation software tool. Micro Saint Sharp's intuitive graphical user interface and flow chart approach to modeling make it a tool that can be used by generalists as well as simulation experts. Micro Saint Sharp has proven to be an invaluable asset in both small businesses and Fortune 500 companies and in many areas including the military, human factors, health care, manufacturing, and the service industry.

Micro Saint Sharp's power, flexibility and tools for optimization make it the simulation tool of choice for any organization. With a computer model of your process built in Micro Saint Sharp, you can begin to get the answers to your "what if" questions. What if I change the way humans work with the system? What if I change my resource mix? What if I rearrange the process? Find the answers with Micro Saint Sharp quickly and completely for systems of all sizes, shapes, and complexities.

Micro Saint Sharp Version 3.5 - now with floating licenses and a new Experiment capability! There are still 3 ways to view your models: network diagram view, 2D animation and 3D animation. Download a free demonstration version or contact us at MAAD_sales@alionscience.com for further information about this new version.

New in Micro Saint Sharp Version 3.5

These new enhancements can be found in this release:

We have added many new Sample Models for version 3.5 that demonstrate how to use many of the features of Micro Saint Sharp. Each model has a description and detailed comments.
A new Start Page now displays when Micro Saint Sharp launches that gives you a quick way to open your recent files, open sample models, and view news and announcements.
New Experimenter capability allows you specify variables and ranges for a variety of inputs and run all of the possible permutations. You can now easily define multiple experimental runs and specify multiple iterations for each condition.
The Model Runtime Export has been enhanced to allow you to export models that use Animator, Animator3D, Object Designer, and/or the Communications capabilities. You can also now name your runtime application and define runtime execution settings (number of times to execute, random number seed, etc.)
You can now Quickly Add Variables to the variable catalog directly from text in an expression field
Quickly Insert Variables directly into your model expression code using the right-click menu.
New Export to HTML option allows you to view using an HTML tree view display with clickable task diagrams and display. You can send the HTML files to others that need to review the model structure but do not own Micro Saint Sharp.
New Histogram Viewer allows you to quickly generate a graphical chart of your snapshot data in histogram form.
A Pathfinding Capability has been added to Animator and Animator3D that allows you to define waypoints that are on a direct path with each other then use the new GetRoute and GetRouteDistance functions to have Micro Saint Sharp find the shortest route from one point to another.
Enhanced Notes feature now allows WYSIWYG text editing functionality.
You can now enable/disable Model Variance for any particular execution.
The Grid Editor has been enhanced to support editing reference tasks.
Use the new Console communication protocol to interact with command line applications.
Updated Floating License to better support users with 2 or more copies of Micro Saint Sharp.

Other useful recent enhancements include:

Import your existing Microsoft Visio business and technical drawings and make them into process simulation models
Create reusable modeling components with Referential tasks and paths which will reduce your overall model development time
Better visualize and add scenarios with the new Scenario Viewer
View new reports including tasks and scenario time-line reports
Find things quickly with the new "Go To" window
Turn off entity merging which greatly improves model run performance
Save time creating snapshots with a new automatic variable data collection option
Store output files where you want them for easier comparative model run analysis
Improved performance
Communication plug-in that allows users to export model data to spreadsheets easily

Here are some capabilities of Animator3D:

Create a virtual environment that represents your desired process with 3D moving images
Explore your virtual world with enhanced viewing capabilities that allow you to rotate objects and tour models from any angle
Use our built-in 3D objects library with models from multiple industries to get you started creating realistic, detailed scenes
Navigate through your virtual world by zooming in and out and rotating with ease
New 3D objects for military applications and landscapes
Integrated with your simulation model
Uses Microsoft's latest DirectX technology
