etrieve parameters and storing results.
Main advantage of this way is that user has
only to focus on algorithms and hence
leave to JUZZLE the management of
parameters/results interface and graphics
user interface.
• Definition and tuning of a simulator
connecting elementary modules to each
other:
- Development of each module in JAVA
or C,
- Definition of the structure (choice and
connection of the modules),
- Definition of module parameters, global
parameters and results to save,
- Simulator tuning and debugging a using
specific Graphical User Interface. The
interface permits to probe, process and
display graphically data exchanged
between modules,
- Optional creation of a separated
executable corresponding to the simulator.
• Encapsulation of simulators developed
using C or FORTRAN by means of a file
interface for parameter specification.
In the context of this article, a simulator was
developed using C based modules, each
module performing an elementary function
and exchanging numerical data with other
modules.
Graphic User Interface of JUZZLE for a C
based module simulation is as follows

EXPLOITATION TOOLS
Beside simulation tools allowing to compute
results from parameters, JUZZLE provides
also exploitation tools to build case studies
and statistic studies.
A study on a JUZZLE simulator uses two
kinds of parameter variations:
• Case Study defines precisely parameters
variations with simulations runs explicitly
defined.
• Statistic Study is feeding simulator
parameters with random laws (uniform,
Gaussian…).
Furthermore, users have the possibility to
execute studies using one or several
computers. Thus, hardware resource can be
optimised, JUZZLE being responsible for
distribution and gathering of computation
units.
Graphic User Interface of JUZZLE for a
study case is as follows
