Building a Simulation with CASE

Setup

Information relevant to both off- and on-campus users:

• Accessing the Trinity University Computer Science network
  • Obtaining a CS account
  • IP Adress access
• Programming Environment
  • Downloading and Installing Eclipse
  • The CVS Repository
• Running a Simulation Off-Campus (Windows only)
  • Installing and Configuring Cygwin/X
  • Initializing an Xterm window on bianca
    • Running the Simulation from Interface Control (faster)
    • Running the Simulation from Eclipse (slower)
