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.

Just released Micro Saint Sharp Version 2.5 - now with Microsoft Visio import & export capabilities! 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 2.6

These new enhancements can be found in this release:

Use the new Entity Generator object to create new entities in your model. Entities can be created based upon a schedule or simply on the number of entities to generate
Use the new Symbolic Entity Representation capability to customize your entity color, shape, and fill style. This new feature is useful for tracking entities as they flow through your model
Dynamically Change Variable Values while the model is executing via the Watches window
Specify where you want your Result Files Saved before the model is executed via the Execution Settings window
Improved parsing in the error check portion
To aid in debugging, Comment Variables and Watches are no longer cleared at the end of each run
Change the Output window font to Arial, Courier, or Times. This is useful when you need a fixed width font to line up your model output

Other useful recent enahncements 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
Updated overall look and feel
Improved 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
