Powersim Studio 8 Developer Suite
Studio 8 SDK - Software Development Kit
This Software Development Kit (SDK) is a software library that can be used by programmers to include simulations in custom-designed software applications to be run in the Microsoft® Windows environment.
- Develop simulations for the web.
- Include simulations in Windows applications.
- Create multi-user simulation games.
- Create integrated desktop applications.
To utilize the Studio 8 SDK you must first build a simulation model with Studio 8 Enterprise.
Studio 8 SDK Product Details
Studio 8 SDK is a Software Development Kit that let you create custom web-based or desktop interfaces for your Studio models. Studio 8 SDK allows you to create your own sophisticated frontends to be run with Studio 8 Simulation Engine.
In Studio 8 SDK there is an object model giving you access to the rich functionality of the Studio 8 Simulation Engine. The object model is a set of COM (Component Object Model) interfaces, specially designed for ease-of-use and language-independence.
In a variety of development environments, like Visual Basic .NET, ASP. and more, you can build tailored simulator interfaces in an intuitive and straight-forward way.
Through these interfaces you can open models, set and retrieve values, get information about variables, control single and multi-run simulations, specify reference data, and much more. Studio 8 SDK also allows you to connect Studio models to any enterprise database, ensuring that your simulation results always are accurate.
You can purchase individual Studio 8 SDK licenses as your development team increases.
Distribution
Once you have finalized a solution, you need a license of Studio 8 Simulation Engine to distribute the solution to others:
- Studio 8 Simulation Engine Server
Included in the Studio 8 SDK is a license of the run-time version of Studio 8 Simulation Engine Developer, which allows a developer to build and test their solutions.
Contact us for assistance in upgrading your licenses to the new Studio 8 Developer Suite.
