Reference Manual
This manual contains reference information for the SansGUI Modeling and Simulation Environment. It is prepared especially for simulation developers and advanced users who need to write programs or dynamic-linked library "plugged-ins" to be executed in the environment. The manual is organized into the following chapters:
Chapter 1 SansGUI Data Types: provides type information about SansGUI data representations in GUI controls and in data objects. It also explains how SansGUI converts data from GUI controls into the universal data format for SansGUI Data Objects.
Chapter 2 SansGUI Data Object Format: shows the internal structure of SansGUI Data Objects, which is essential for simulators to communicate with SansGUI.
Chapter 3 SansGUI Application Programming Interface: describes the only API that you need to learn to program for SansGUI.
Chapter 4 SansGUI Simulation Control: explains the control flow and semantics behind the various simulation paradigms that are supported by SansGUI.
Chapter 5 SansGUI Model File Format: describes in detail the textual model file generated for external process simulators. You need to refer to this chapter to develop the input data reader routines or filter routines for your external process programs.
Chapter 6 SansGUI Intrinsic Classes: contain reference information on all classes supplied with the SansGUI Modeling and Simulation Environment. Simulation developers create subclasses from the intrinsic classes for all the classes involved in the simulator.
