Description

1. The Surface

The SimulationPlus component is an extension of the user surface. The advantage is, that the trainees don’t have to type every single command, but can easily select them by mouse click. In the following, these components will be briefly explained.

2. Entering Commands

Commands are selected by mouse click from a list of commands. In the following example, the command "hire Richard" is selected, that means, that the developer Richard will be hired. After selecting a command, click on the button «Send command».

3. Advancing the Simulation Time

There are two possibilities to advance the simulation time: a) Advancing by one day: To advance the simulation time by one day, click on the button «Proceed». b) Advancing by several days: To advance the simulation time by several days, enter the amount of steps (days) and then click on the Button «Proceed».

4. Feedback from the Simulator

The feedback from the simulator is shown in the simulation window. Examples of feedbacks: Feedback after "Proceed": After a proceed, the simulation date is increased by one workday. New command: 1 step(s) to proceed. Command accepted. 1999/08/12/08:00: A developer finishes working: Finishes a developer his activity, also a feedback appears. In this example, the developer Axel has finished specification. 1999/08/18/08:00 Axel: What an interesting project. Here's the specification. I'll be happy to work more on the project. If you want me, of course.     << Using the Simulator Using the Advisor     >>
