Open source

Name Language Type Last Updated License Description
CPN Tools BETA Application February 1, 2015 (v4.0.1) GPLv2 A tool to analyse logistics/queuing models in all types of applications.
DESMO-J Java Library November 30, 2015 (v2.5.1c) Apache 2.0 A framework for discrete-event simulation in Java, supporting hybrid event/process models and providing animation in 2D and 3D.
gem5 C++ Application August 8, 2024 BSD The gem5 simulator is a modular platform for computer-system architecture research, encompassing system-level architecture as well as processor microarchitecture.
JaamSim Java Application September 18, 2024 (v.2024-07) Apache 2.0 JaamSim is a fast and scalable discrete-event simulation software that includes a drag-and-drop user interface, interactive 3D graphics, input and output processing and model development tools and editors. "Out of all the OS DES projects we reviewed, JaamSim is the one with the most impressive 3D user interface that can compete against COTS DES software. (...) The fact that a non-expert user can just download and test the software in a few minutes is something that is a scarce attribute in OS projects and especially in the DES domain. (...) It is the only tool we found that is clearly industry driven (...) and this may have led to more consistent motivation and funding."

"JaamSim provides everything which is necessary to model typical planning tasks in production and logistics and proves as a real alternative to commercial DES tools."

PowerDEVS C++ Application September 18, 2013 (v933) AFL, GPLv2 An integrated tool for hybrid systems modeling and simulation based on the DEVS formalism.
Ptolemy II Java Library December 17, 2014 (v10.0.1) BSD A software framework supporting experimentation with actor-oriented design.
SIM.JS JavaScript Library January 16, 2012 (v0.26) LGPL SIM.JS is a general-purpose Discrete Event Simulation library written entirely in JavaScript. Runs in browser and a GUI-based modeling tool is supported.
SimPy Python Library November 12, 2023 (4.1.1) MIT SimPy is a process-based discrete-event simulation framework based on standard Python.
Simula Simula Language June 1, 1967 A programming language designed specifically for simulation.
SystemC C++ Library November 15, 2018 (v2.3.3) Apache 2.0 A set of C++ classes and macros which provide an event-driven simulation kernel.
