Model Execution: Concepts and Terms : The Tool

The Tool

The Rational Statemate Simulation Tool is used to examine the behavior of the specification modeled using the Statechart and Activity-chart graphic languages. During simulation, you can interactively simulate the model and view the results or you can write a program that runs in batch and portrays a test scenario. When simulating, you can examine the state of your system using graphical animation. Monitors and waveforms can be used to examine the value of elements during simulation. After the simulation is executed, you can analyze a trace report of that simulation. Refer to Interactive Mode Simulation for details on interactively simulating and Batch Mode Simulation for details about writing and executing a program in batch.
