Main program features

SBMLsimulator 1.2

  • Accurate: 100 % of the SBML Test Suite version 2.3.2 (5,339 models in 68.6 s)
  • Fast: 500 integration steps of the glycolysis (Biomodel 42) computed in 0.319 s (with Rosenbrock's solver).
  • JSBML-based (Java library for SBML)
  • Platform independent: Tested on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS
  • Bilingual user interface (English and German)
  • All program features also available through the command-line interface
  • Nine numerical integration methods, including the Rosenbrock Solver for stiff systems
  • Heuristic optimization framework EvA2 included

Availability of SBMLsimulator

SBMLsimulator is available in two different forms:
  1. As a stand-alone application that simulates models stored in SBML files and calibrates these with respect to given data.
  2. As a Java™ Web Start version, which allows users to directly launch this application from your browser.

User guide and API documentation of SBMLsimulator

The user guide of SBMLsimulator can be found here.

A toy data set for playing with SBMLsimulator is available here. It was created from biomodel #324, which was used for demonstrating the capabilities of SBMLsimulator in the user guide.

An API documentation can be found for the following versions:

which allows users to costumize SBMLsimulator or to access its methods from their own programs.
