My penny's worth: if an SI-list is NOT the right place for a
discussion on SI tools, where is ?!?
It may be true that as a student you have free access to such
software. It may also be true that you can get 30 day trial licenses
to be able to 'try them out'.
But let's be honest: these are not java-based over-the-internet demo
games that you can 'play with' for 10 minutes, and know whether it's
going to be the right one for you. My experience is that to fully test
such a program, you could easily need 1 to 2+ weeks, and to test 4 or
more pieces of software - who on EARTH has that kind of time?!?
I find comments such as those of Ravinder Ajmani to be exactly the
right kind of comments - no sales person is going to tell you these
kinds of problems, and it might take weeks to discover these yourself,
although they could be critical to your own use of a particular package.
These comments help someone to narrow the choice down in fore-field,
so as to only have to evaluate one tool, at the most perhaps 2.
Comments such as Dan Crain's are also exactly on the button: if you
don't like a particular thread, 'sort by subject' in Outlook (or
similar) and hit delete, for crying out loud!

Betreff: [SI-LIST] Re: Which tool is the best
OK you asked:
As a former employee of a SI tool vendor I know that the design =
environment
is critically important to the success or lack thereof of any simulation
tool. More often than not you get experience based on a limted set of
conditions and typically the tool vendors, who monitor this list, do not
respond in a public forum. Instead of trying to get cheap answers do =
your
own homework and decide for your self. BTW as a student you get access =
to
simulation tools for FREE typically ... you would be in a much bettr
position to make your own decisions.
So discussions vis a vis the relative worth of a tool is pointless and
unfair to the many and excellent tool vendors.

Dear Members:
My e-mail has reference to the text appended herewith.
Just wanted to know in my small wisdom as to what is wrong with a tools
related discussion. I am sure this is a pure SI related discussion going
on, and its healthy as well.
Thanks,
Girish C Mohanty

OK - thats enough. Please contact the various manufacturers and try the
tools yourself. The pick the tool that best suits your environment. No
