Simile features a modular architecture that makes it simple to add new display tools (or “helpers” as they are sometimes known) to your existing installation. Display tools are available for everything from simple plots of variables against time, to complex three-dimensional animations. We are continually developing new display tools, and can do so to order if you have particular requirements, or you can write your own using the Tcl/Tk scripting language. For details of how to do this, please contact us.
We also provide updates to the tools distributed with Simile where we have been able to provide enhanced functionality or performance in response to feedback.
