The SimDriver represents a generic simulation interface around simulators of the “SBW Simulator” Category. There exist currently two versions of the SimDriver: one written in C# for Win32 platforms (and as soon as Mono gets along a bit further for Linux / OS X) and one written in Java (simplified version).

The SimDriver provides a unified interface to all SBW Simulators. An SBW Simulator is SBW Module that implements the SBW Simulator API. This API is structured in levels allowing for a bare-bone simulator up to a simulator that exposes functionality like structural analysis and steady-state analysis. For examples of SBW Simulators see:

• Jarnac
• roadRunner
• Gillespie
• Klaus's Simulators

The SimDriver module is installed with SBW. For more information see the SBW installation page.

The SimDriver module is fully supported on Windows and Linux, and partially supported on Mac OS X.
