< language > A general-purpose, modular, block-structured language from CACI , which provides support for object-oriented programming and discrete event simulation . It is intended for building large process-based discrete event simulation models through modular and object-oriented mechanisms similar to those of Modula-2 .
MODSIM is descended from Modula-2 and Simula . It supports multiple inheritance , template s, reference type s, polymorphism , and process-oriented simulation with synchronous and asynchronous activities using explicit simulation time.
