What is involved in creating and external GUI for the Vissim? I want to have a VB front end that will select parameters and execute model in the viewer and revert back data in number and chart form.

GUI for VisSim

There are a number of ways you can go.

  • Simplest is to use the VisSim display mode and put your parameter selection on the top page. You can get quite fancy with bitmaps and user dialogs with drop down combo boxes and check boxes.
  • If you really want an external application, then you can invoke VisSim directly (\vissim70\vissim32.exe) and use command line arguments to open a prepared .vsm file and start VisSim running the diagram. To send configuration data or read back results you can use files, DDE or activeX. These are all documented in our user guide which you can download here: http://www.vissim.com/downloads/user_guides.html
