Abstract

See full text

In a data processing system employed for simulation, a simulation program (24) produces simulation results (26), while a pre-compiler (18) used to prepare the simulation program (24) generates cause and effect lists (22). The cause and effect lists (22) and simulation results (26) are organized in data groups associated with the various variables in the model. A presentation module (28) operates a display (16) so as to display variable names (37) that represent the data groups and icons (32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, and 44) that represent operations that can be performed on the data groups. By using a mouse (15) to 'click on' a data-group name (48) and an icon (40-55, 59), the user can cause a selected data-group operation to be performed on a selected data group.
