Improvements since v7.0:

• Model diagram:
  • Compartments getting their initial values as parameters now drawn with 'scroll' decoration
  • Variables could look 'smudged' when zoomed out a lot, now they look more recognizable
  • Grid spacing remains regular after zooming out a long way and in
  • Ghosts look more consistent, with compartment/state bodies and all stack decorations stippled
  • Zooming to selection is more accurate in cases where the selected component(s) are barely visible
• Model building:

New features:

Experiment setup

A model can now be run simultaneously with its default parameters and with various other combinations of parameters, using multiple processors if they are available. Results for all cases are shown together and the experiment setup can be saved for use with different versions of the model.

New Features

• Native code execution on Apple Silicon Macs
• Can display results in browser, using SimiLive interface

Improvements

Simile version 6.11 released

This version introduces the ability for a Simile submodel to implement a connection to a separate program via a named pipe or Unix socket. This means that models developed in other tools can be used as components in Simile models.

Other changes since the original version 6.10:

A new series of Video tutorials, commissioned by World Agroforestry (ICRAF), have been created for Simile. They include a starter on the basics of system dynamic modelling in ecosystem study, and go on to cover advanced Simile techniques such as discrete event-based and agent-based modelling.
