MODSIM definition
language A general-purpose, modular, block-structured language from
CACI, which provides support for
object-oriented programming and
discrete event simulation. It is intended for building large process-based discrete event simulation models through modular and object-oriented mechanisms similar to those of
Modula-2.
MODSIM is descended from
Modula-2 and
Simula. It supports
multiple inheritance,
templates,
reference types,
polymorphism, and
process-oriented simulation with synchronous and asynchronous activities using explicit simulation time.
