FLAMES® is completely independent of the behavior of any particular type of real-world system. This is because the state and behavior of systems are not simulated by FLAMES but rather by components that "plug" into FLAMES. This allows FLAMES to be used as the foundation for nearly any type of simulation that models almost any type of system.
FLAMES is bundled with a wide variety of ready-to-use components that provide the functionality required to support the demonstration and tutorial scenarios that are included with FLAMES. More importantly, these components can often satisfy some or all of your modeling requirements - right off the shelf. Most components are parametric models that can quickly be configured to represent a wide variety of systems by simply entering the proper parameter values.
If you need modeling capability that is different from what is provided by the bundled components, you can use the FLAMES Development Suite to develop your own components and plug them into FLAMES. The FLAMES Development Suite includes the source code to all bundled components. The Development Suite also includes an easy-to-use tool that can quickly make a copy of the source code of any bundled component and give the component a new name. Consequently, you will usually find that one of the bundled components will serve as an excellent starting point for your custom component development.
The following is a partial list of the components that come bundled with FLAMES. These components can be grouped into three categories: Unit Models, Environment Models, and View Overlays. For a description of the role each type of component plays in FLAMES, see the Components page.
