FS/CoderC++ - Foresight's C++ Code Generator

Foresight's C Code Generator, FS/CoderC++, permits the rapid development of stand-alone versions of Foresight models.

FS/CoderC++ automatically translates graphical Foresight executable system models into C++ code which, when compiled and linked with a run-time library, creates a stand-alone executable model.

FS/CoderC++ provides you with two broad capabilities that complement Foresight's animated, interactive simulation environment and extend the utility of your Foresight models:

• Batch Simulation: Your code generated models may be used to run batch simulations, where the primary purpose is to execute the model as fast as possible under a wide variety of input conditions, and collect the resultant data and statistics. You can easily create batch scripts to execute a model multiple times with varying input scenarios. Since they are compiled, code generated models provide the most efficient form of execution. In contrast to Foresight's interactive simulation environment, code generated models may run 15 to 30 times faster (execution speed is dependent upon model). As a result, you can get the answers you need quicker, and more rapidly subject your model to many input scenarios.
• Stand-alone Execution: Your code generated models are stand-alone C++ programs, with all the inherent flexibility of any other compiled C++ program (yet much easier to create and debug!). For example, you can call your "compiled model" from other software modules, link in other simulation models, or tie in a graphical user interface for delivery of your "application program" to end-users; the possibilities are endless. Your compiled model is packaged with separate input and output modules, which provide you a clean interface to extend and interface your model to whatever you wish. Stand-alone execution of your models magnifies the utility of your Foresight models, by enabling their use within the framework of other programs and by putting them in the hands of end-users. Finally, your compiled model runs without a Foresight license making delivery of your model inexpensive and flexible.

Foresight's modeling and simulation environment allows you to quickly construct and analyze animated models of complex systems. And when you need to collect lots of data, try multiple operational scenarios, or deliver an end-product, FS/CoderC++ will generate the stand-alone executables.
