  • Abstract
    Computer simulation is becoming a common tool in the engineer´s toolkit but the move to simulation is slow in coming. There are still many people in manufacturing, health care, process reengineering and human factors industries who are not using any sort of simulation software and see no advantage to using this powerful tool. Even in the information age of the 1990´s it is still hard for the potential user of simulation to find the necessary facts to keep up with the changing market of computers and simulation software. We focus on the changes in simulation software over the years, the ease of use of the 1990´s simulation software, the broadening market for simulation software, along with a step by step approach to using Micro Saint simulation software in several key areas
