RTMsim vs SimEvents

RTMsim has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

SimEvents is desktop software for modeling message-based communication and other event-driven processes. It uses a discrete-event simulation engine and component library, and can combine event-based models with Simulink time-based models for large hybrid systems. Blocks represent entity creation and destruction, queues, service times, routing, attributes, and event responses. Resource Pool, Resource Acquirer, and Resource Releaser blocks model resource allocation, while repeated simulations can support optimization. Analysis includes latency, throughput, packet loss, queue lengths, delays, and average service times. Users can simulate and debug models, inspect queue contents, visualize entity activity, and build custom visualization tools. Output statistics aggregate measures, and Sequence Viewer displays messages, events, and entities. MATLAB Discrete Event System and Discrete Event Chart blocks allow custom behavior. Listed applications include communication networks, software and hardware architectures, forecasting, capacity planning, and supply chain management. SimEvents requires MATLAB and Simulink, runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and has a 30-day trial with paid licensing.
