XSIM: An X-Window Simulation Interface
Overview
XSIM is a graphical user interface designed for use by biomedical investigators doing computer simulation. The software runs in a windowing environment on engineering workstations and uses a ‘point and click’ approach. As the engine of the NSR simulation envionment, XSIM connects models, data and physiological databases.
Features of XSIM
The appearance of XSIM is not predefined but is determined at run time by a configuration file selected by the investigator. Thus, the interface can be tailored to the specific analysis task at hand, and a graphical display of the underlying model can be provided. XSIM features include:
- parameter optimizers to fit model output to experimental data,
- analysis of sensitivity and residual functions,
- graphical display of data,
- definition of new variables at run time, and
- shifting to different models without leaving XSIM.
XSIM Distribution Package
The XSIM distribution package contains:
- installation instructions and release notice;
- XSIM and TEXSIM programs;
- model programs and configuration files;
- utility programs;
- object libraries;
- documentation files.
Availability
XSIM 3.21 for Sun SPARCstations running Solaris, Pentium PCs running Linux, and SGI workstations running IRIX is available; XSIM 3.18 for Sun SPARCstations running SunOS 4.1.x is available.
