Interactive Mode Simulation : Starting the Simulation Tool

Starting the Simulation Tool

The Simulation Tool gives you the capability to interactively analyze your design. It uses the power of graphical animation and interactive batch stimuli in combination with monitor windows, graphic panels and waveforms.

The Simulation Tool graphically depicts the behavior of your design by animating the statecharts and activity-charts. This tool can be started from either the Rational Statemate Main Menu or from one of the Statechart or Activity-chart Graphic Editors. The following discussion outlines how to start the tool from these sources and how to connect the charts to the Simulation Tool.
