This is a list of discrete event simulation software.
Open Source
- Facsimile is a free, open-source discrete-event simulation/emulation library.
- SimPy is an Open Source process-oriented discrete event simulation package implemented in Python. It is based on Simula concepts, but goes significantly beyond Simula in its synchronization constructs.
- Tortuga is a software framework for discrete-event simulation in Java. A Tortuga simulation can be written either as interacting processes or as scheduled events. A Tortuga simulation can have thousands of entities, and can be part of a larger Java system. Tortuga was developed by The MITRE Corporation in 2004/2006.
Commercial
- AnyLogic is a graphical general purpose simulation tool which supports discrete event (process-centric), system dynamics and agent-based modeling approaches. In discrete event simulation it root to the same approach as GPSS, but provides additional facilities: combining different approaches, dynamic animation, DB-connectivity, DXF-import, rich experimental framework etc.
- ExtendSim is a graphical general purpose environment for discrete event, continuous, discrete rate, and agent based simulation.
Not Yet Categorized
- GPSS is the time tested and trust DES platform: different implementation are available through vendors.
- Simula was the first object-oriented programming language, and was designed specifically for simulation
- Rockwell Arena is simulation and automation software developed by Rockwell Automation. It uses the SIMAN processor and simulation language.
