Simulation
----------

MeCoSim is available in `this download url <http://www.p-lingua.org/mecosim>`_. Go there and press **Install**.

To **run the examples**, simply do the following from MeCoSim main window:

* **Load a new app**: in MeCoSim initial screen, option **New** > choose the custom app file (.xls).
* **Run the app**, by **double-clicking** the app (or alternatively by pressing button or menu option **Run**).
* **Set a model** inside an app: from the running app, option *Model* > **Set Model** > choose the model file (.pli).
* **Set a scenario** inside an app: from the running app, option *Scenario* > **Open** > choose the scenario file (.ec2).
* **Simulate** the model in *Simulation* > **Simulate!**.

**That's all!** The simulation will run until a halting configuration is reached. Then the user will see a message like this:
