COMPUTER GRAPHICS FOR SIMULATION PROBLEM-SOLVING,

Abstract

The paper gives a description of the use of interactive computer-graphic analysis in simulating, and then designing and developing a video graphics system which will provide low-cost, high-capability, responsive, graphic computer access to many users simultaneously. Simulation began before the system was fully defined, as an aid to design. Of the three type of display--Statistics, Variable Graph, and Gantt Chart--the latter was used most. Graphic analysis cut total modeling time approximately in half. Graphics capabilities facilitated analysis of a large volume of simulation output to examine the model in detail and to discover anomalous behavior; ongoing simulation proved a valuable aid to design.
