Comprehensive Scenario Manager Employs an inheritance tree-type

scenario Allows different “what if” scenarios to be

quickly applied to a base Network Enables efficient examination of

alternative modelling scenarios User selects which scenarios to analyse,

the software automatically runs all the different scenarios

Simulation Server Simulations can be run on

Stand-alone workstations Within a Workgroup sharing computer

resources Within an Enterprise System with dedicated

servers and central store Users are able to monitor and control the

progress of selected simulations Possible to re-schedule the queue and

priority of simulation jobs
