Renque user's guide
Welcome to Renque
Renque is a powerful software environment designed for general-purpose discrete
event simulations. It has a comprehensive graphical user interface and a versatile
simulation engine, which enable you to rapidly build accurate simulations, for a wide
range of applications.
The phrase simulation generally refers to a technique of imitating the behavior of
some process or system by means of operating a project. Simulations are used to
acquire numerical information and improve understanding of systems, in an
environment where experimentation with the real system is undesirable or
impossible.
Renque is a software tool developed to create and operate discrete event simulation
models. A discrete event is something that happens in an instant of time, with zero
duration. Although gradual system transitions can be represented in a Renque
project, the program was designed primarily to deal with instantaneous changes.
Renque is a full-fledged Microsoft Windows application, suitable to analyze a virtually
unlimited range of simulation objectives. Among the many helpful features that make
modeling with Renque efficient and enjoyable are powerful animation tools, Microsoft
Excel embedding, extensive charting possibilities, integrated calendar and
scheduling tools, a helpful event viewer and Microsoft Visual Basic scripting.
In this document, the names of user interface controls are displayed in bold, where
suitable. The names on Renque object properties are written with a capital letter, and
property values are generally displayed in italic. Internal document hyperlinks are
underlined.
