Abstract :
Software tools, built with Asymetrix Multimedia ToolBook, have been developed to facilitate embedding of mechanistic simulation resources into electronic tutorials. The Simulation Control Program (SCoP) has been modified to create Windows Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) directly from model source code using a graphic user interface (GUI). SCoP DLLs can be linked into ToolBook applications containing animation objects and/or dynamic graphs. Another GUI builds any required graphing objects and ToolBook scripts using an information file generated by the DLL builder. The resulting scripts are easily modified to synchronise quantitatively precise motion of animation objects with or without dynamic graphical display
