Step-by-step tutorials
We present a number of step-by-step tutorials to help you get to know the Simile visual modelling environment.
The first tutorial introduces you to basic Simile techniques. You should work through it before trying the others, since they generally assume that you have done this. The remaining tutorials can be tackled in any order, depending on your interests.
