The Extended Simulation Support System, TESS, supports the model entry, simulation, statistical analysis, and result presentation tasks required in a simulation project.Based on user specifications, TESS provides automatic collection of simulation results during SLAM II@,.MAP/ITM, or GPSS/H m simulation runs into the TESS database.Animations can be shown both concurrently with simulations and after simulation runs.Business graphs and reports display variable values and their statistical summaries.These summaries, including confidence intervals, can be computed after simulation runs from variable values collected during the simulation.For SLAM II, network models may be entered using a graphical builder.The TESS command language providesa singleuserinterface toallTESS capabilities.Inaddition, the TESS subroutine library provides access from user written programs to all data and summaries in theTESS database for ad hoc processing.
