ExtendSim Packages & Pricing for Instructional Use

ExtendSim Student is designed for students building models for classwork. It allows students to:

• Build and save small (75 blocks or less) models for classwork.
• Interactively run those models and other small models, change settings, view animation, and save simulation results.
• Utilize advanced ExtendSim technology such as Optimization, the Scenario Manager, built-in databases, ability to build custom blocks, etc.
• Use scripting to build or change small models and to move blocks on a worksheet.
• Print model worksheets, block dialogs, and so forth.
• Interactively run larger models in RunTime mode, change settings, view animation and see results (but you won't be able to save or print results of larger models).
• Plus, includes the eTextbook ExtendSim for Discrete Event Systems Simulation.

However, there are some limitations:

• The models you build are limited to a maximum of 75 blocks.
