Hello Joern,

Well, I've noticed that in my industry (ie. Semiconductor manufacturing) that folks don't really want to build the simulation, they already want a turnkey application that will simulate their situation! SAS does not want to get into creating a simulation for each and every industry, so they made it very generic and allows users to build the models. Unless you are in "pure" operations research, I don't think that this simulator will find much use in industry unless one has the time to spend to make up all the appropriate models.
