Name

RodSim: An Optimized Simulator for the aSAM and kSAM

Description

RodSim is an abstract Slat Assembly Model (aSAM) and kinetic Slat Assembly Model (kSAM) simulator written in C++ that is optimized to allow for much faster simulation than SlatTAS. However, it has no graphical user interface and no way of visualizing assemblies. Instead, they can be opened and inspected using SlatTAS.

RodSim is freely released and its source code is freely available, along with a README file explaining its dependencies and how to build it.
