User Interface Development

A good user interface can turn a simple simulation model into a full decision support system. We specialize in creating interfaces that wrap seamlessly around a simulation tool to make it easier for non-specialists to use. We find that the integrity of your difficult modeling work is much easier to maintain if you keep the user-changeable input parameters separate from the model itself. With our interfaces, there is no need for the end-user to know anything about simulation, let alone have any simulation development skills. We allow end users to simply change important variables, hit run and then view the results. We can even create interfaces that will build a 'custom' model from scratch based on what the end user enters in the interface. Though it takes a little bit of time to set up a user interface, you will find that your efforts will be amply repaid in terms of more efficient, trouble-free use of the model over the long run.
