This paper presents a software tool for generat ing graphical interfaces for general-purpose ACSL simulation models. The tool is aimed to construct simulators for education and training in fields such as process control. Final users can manipulate the simulation from an upper level, avoiding the details of simulation, names of variables and experiments, etc., and focusing attention on the work with each particular simu lated system. The tool is based on graphical op eration and transparent communication with the supporting simulation. The steps that must be followed by the programmer to prepare the graphical interface for users of the simulation are outlined. An application example, including the interface configuration as well as its use with the simulation, is provided.

Key Words: Graphical interfaces • ACSL • simulation tool development environments • simulation languages
