Simile's Linux version has all the functionality of the Windows and Mac versions, and is easier to support, since several of the tools on which Simile is built have a Linux heritage. All saved models, parameter files and visualization setups are fully compatible between Linux and other OS versions. However, we have relatively few Linux customers.

The latest Simile is now version 6.3. This is a maintenance release that corrects some issues with earlier releases and also adds to existing functionality making it more useful.

Simile version 6.1 released

This minor version adds some useful new functionality to Simile v6. Note: a patch release was made on 7th February 2014 correcting a few problems identified after the release.

This is the first patch release of Simile v6.0 (there was no p1). To install it, repeat your original download/install procedure.

Issues fixed:

The R Language Interface makes it possible to load, parameterize, execute and interrogate a previously saved Simile model within an R language script.

Simile v6.0 Released

The new major release of Simile enhances the capabilities of the tool
by allowing discrete events to be included in simulations. These are
implemented by a new set of symbols which integrate seamlessly with
the system-dynamic and object/agent-based functionality.

The R Language Interface makes it possible to load, parameterize, execute and interrogate a previously saved Simile model within an R language script.

This is a maintenance release in the Simile v5.x series. It fixes several dozen problems with performance and usability in previous versions. It is the first release in the 5.x series that will be able to load models saved by Simile 6.0 and higher provided they do not use any of the special features that will be added in that version. All users of Simile v5.x should download and install this release.

We have released a new version of Simile in order to bring out a large number of very minor improvements and to ensure that the Evaluation Edition has a decent amount of time to run. The highlights are:

• Improved handling of syntax errors in user-defined function files
• Better management of favourite file paths
• Time series parameters can be updated at intervals of any time unit

Current v5.x customers, please download and install this whenever convenient.
