Simulation Software enables 3D animation.

Press Release Summary:




Micro Saint Sharp v2.0 general-purpose, discrete-event, simulation modeling environment can simulate complex processes and solve difficult problems. It allows users to view models with network diagram view, 2D animation, and 3D animation. Animator 3D creates virtual environment that represents desired process with 3D moving images. Users can rotate objects and tour models from any angle. Communication module allows exchange of data with other software applications.

Introducing Micro Saint Sharp Version 2.0 with Animator3D - The Sharpest Idea in Simulation



Boulder, CO - February 28, 2005 - Micro Analysis & Design (MA&D) is excited to announce the release of Micro Saint Sharp Version 2.0 and the new Animator3D! Now there are 3 ways to view
your models: network diagram view, 2D animation, and
3D animation. Users have the ultimate flexibility and can
select one or all of these visualization options for their
simulation models.

Our first major release of Micro Saint Sharp was a completely redesigned version that focused on making it faster, modular, and more powerful while adding to its simulation capabilities. This new release extends these capabilities by improving the visualization of the models with 3D animation and adding a communication plug-in so that Micro Saint Sharp can interact with other software applications.

Here are some of the new Animator3D features:
o Create a virtual environment that represents your desired process with 3D moving images.
o Explore your virtual world with enhanced viewing capabilities that allow you to rotate objects and tour models from any angle.
o Use our built-in 3D objects library with models from multiple industries to get you started creating realistic, detailed scenes.
o Navigate through your virtual world by zooming in and out and rotating with ease.
o Quick ramp up time for 2D Animator users.
o Integrated with your simulation model so it runs in real time.
o Uses Microsoft's latest DirectX technology.

Other additional enhancements in Micro Saint Sharp 2.0:
o New communication module that allows you to seamlessly exchange data with other software applications such as Microsoft Excel.
o Added intelli-prompt capabilities that allow users to hover over a variable and find out what type it is.
o Tip boxes are now available for user defined functions as well as built-in Micro Saint Sharp functions.
o Make all of your tasks look the same with multi-select resizing.
o Additional debugging capabilities allow you to turn off your network animation until a certain point of your execution and then single step from that point on with full network animation capabilities.
o Retrieve automatic data collection information at any time during model execution.

Micro Saint Sharp is a general purpose discrete-event simulation modeling environment that can simulate complex processes and solve difficult problems in a wide range of
industrial and government applications. For more information about Micro Saint Sharp, please go to the MA&D website at www.maad.com.
