Abstract
FORCASD (FORtran-based and evaluation net-oriented Computer Aided System Design tool) is a portable program package that supports modelling and simulation by evaluation nets. As a special feature, a low-cost graphic display with a light pen facility can be used for model definition by drawing evaluation nets interactively on the screen. The graphical images are automatically converted into appropriate FORTRAN program parts representing those evaluation net structures and form the essential parts of the simulation program.
