Application of Object-oriented Programming in Simulation: A Simulation of Case Study Using Microsoft Visual C++

Abstract

In this thesis, a prototype simulation environment is introduced. Simulation has always been important for systems analysis. The original idea of this thesis stems from the fact that more flexible simulation programming tools are required by the modern analysis. Six simulation classes are implemented in the thesis to support simple simulation cases and Microsoft Visual C++ window classes are used to build a user friendly interface. A simulation output class is also implemented to conduct simple simulation output analysis. Based on this work, more classes and features can be added to make the simulation environment more powerful, so that the simulation environment can support different simulation situations.
