Simulation is fast becoming the software tool for the 1990's. More companies each year are taking advantage of the ease of use of simulation software and see the benefits to using this tool. Unfortunately, there are still many people in Manufacturing, Health Care, Process Reengineering and Human Factors industries who are not using any sort of simulation software. Even in the information age of the 1990's it is still hard for potential simulation users to keep up with the changing market of computers and simulation software. In this paper we will focus on the changes in simulation software over the past ten years, the ease of use of the 1990's simulation software, and the broadening market for simulation software. Then, we wilI illustrate some of these changes by providing a step by step approach to using Micro Saint simulation software Version 2.0.
