Integrated Simulation

The simulation backend has been rewritten to be more lightweight, flexible and transparent and to better integrate in the workflow.

Major new features are:

• simulation of multiple models at once that interact with each other
• starting the simulation with precompiled executables
• support for arrays
• more user friendly interaction with the simulation
• a DSL (kisim files) to configure complex simulation setups

Simulation Visualization

The current state of a running simulation can be displayed by setting attributes of elements in an SVG image. For instance it is possible to set the color or position of elements based on the value of a variable in the simulation.
Furthermore it is possible to interact with SVG elements to control the simulation and set variable values. This way it is possible to define buttons in the SVG to play, pause, step or stop the simulation, as well as setting variables.

To use these features, an SVG image has to be created, in which the elements that should be animated must have a unique id. Afterwards the interactions and animations for these elements are defined using a DSL (kivis files).
