GSMP; general systems analysis modeling code. [IBM370,303x; PL/I (90%), FORTRAN IV (9%), and Assembly language (1%)]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6228484
The General System Modeling Program (GSMP) is designed for use by systems analysis teams. Though developed primarily for the modeling of advanced energy conversion systems, it is designed to model any object satisfying the most general definition of the word 'system'. Given compiled subroutines that model the behavior of components plus instructions as to how they are to be interconnected, GSMP links them together to model a complete system. Standard system-analytic services are provided: parameter sweeps, graphics, free-form input and formatted output, file storage and retrieval, error diagnostics, component model and integration checkout facilities, sensitivity analysis, and an optimizer with nonlinear constraint capability. Steady-state or cyclic time-dependence is simulated directly, initial-value problems only indirectly.IBM370,303x; PL/I (90%), FORTRAN IV (9%), and Assembly language (1%); OS/370; If the system optimization capability is invoked, storage requirements vary from approximately 0.5 to 1 megabyte or more depending on the size of the system model.
