Announcing ACSL/Graphic Modeller

The new block diagram front end for ACSL is now being evaluated at a number
of Beta sites across the country and will be shipping soon.

MGA demonstrated the Graphic Modeller in several sessions at the Technology
Presentation Center at NASA Lewis Research Center. The audiences, composed
of both current ACSL users and users of competing products, were
enthusiastic. They could clearly see that the Graphic Modeller is a
superior product, providing unique benefits to simulationists.

We have also shown the ACSL/Graphic Modeller to editors of the leading
technical magazines. They were also enthusiastic about the product, with
its obvious appeal to both new and experienced simulationists.

ACSL/Graphic Modeller is a modern, full-featured, fully integrated
graphical front end to ACSL. It brings the clarity and ease of visual
programming to the power and flexibility of ACSL. Skeptics who were
concerned about some of the limitations of previous block diagram
programs, such as flexibility, adaptability to complex models, and
execution speed, were satisfied that the Graphic Modeller meets these
concerns. The

ACSL/Graphic Modeller is a broad based solution for all continuous system
applications.

Part of the Graphic Modeller strength is that it is tightly coupled to
ACSL's code language. The user has direct access to the contents of each
graphical block. With a mouse-click or a keystroke, you can view and
modify the underlying code or the underlying primitive blocks. You can
easily construct your own block, out of other blocks or from ACSL code.
Your new blocks are easily dropped into the component library, accessible
just like the ones we provide. Custom libraries are easily assembled.

The ACSL/Graphic Modeller promotes reusability and extensibility. Models,
sub-models, and components can be easily shared between users. Current
ACSL code can be encapsulated into blocks, preserving your investment in
ACSL models. Model execution is fast since the executable model is
compiled, not interpreted. The Graphic Modeller produces machine-portable
ACSL source files.

The ACSL/Graphic Modeller promotes modularity and hierarchical modelling,
both top-down and bottom up. Its natural and intuitive feel, its
complement of drawing tools, and its power and flexibility will enhance
your work in the art of computer simulations. For more information,
