= OverSim Usage = == First steps with OverSim: == * change into directory {{{OverSim-20090320/simulations}}} * start !OverSim by typing {{{ ../src/OverSim }}} * choose a simulation scenario (e.g. ''Chord'') * Select ''Options->Simulation Options->Animation'' and disable ''Animate method calls'' to speedup simulations * press the ''Run'' button in OMNeT++'s main window * ... watch & enjoy ... * press the ''Stop'' button to pause simulation * end !OverSim by closing OMNeT++'s main window[[BR]] (press ''Yes'' to invoke {{{finish()}}}-method call in all OMNeT++ modules) * If you want to simulate large networks like the predefined simulation scenario ''!ChordLarge'' invoke !OverSim without GUI: {{{ ../src/OverSim -uCmdenv -cChordLarge }}} * The simulation results get stored in the ''simulations/results'' directory. Use the OMNeT++ scavetool or the Eclipse IDE for postprocessing. == Editing parameters: == * edit {{{simulations/omnetpp.ini}}} to change or define new simulation scenarios[[BR]] (default parameters are stored in {{{simulations/default.ini}}}, parameters are described on the [/chrome/site/doc/index.html NEDdoc-pages]) == Tips for using the Eclipse IDE == * Start the IDE with ''omnetpp'' * To start simulations from Eclipse, select ''!OverSim'' in the project explorer,[[BR]] click on ''Run simulations'' and select simulations/omnetpp.ini * To view simulation results, use the project explorer and double click[[BR]] on a .sca file in the ''simulations/results'' directory * Set the !OverSim coding style in ''Preferences'' by importing[[BR]] the style from ''doc/EclipseOverSimCodeStyle.xml''
