This is an information manual for a product. It mainly introduces the product's functions, features and usage methods.
The B/Sim User Guide, produced by the Institute for Computer System Architecture, explains how to create and run experiments with the B/Sim simulation platform. It describes the modular architecture, plug‑in system, and scripting options for defining nodes, modules, and connectivity models.
The guide includes sections on specifying modules, connection models, packet types, compiling programs, and programming interfaces, as well as technical notes on supported operating systems and version information.

B/Sim scripts may include C/C++ code, though simple scripts can be written without extensive programming knowledge.
Linux is the primary target, but the code is also intended to compile on Windows and Mac OS X.
An experiment can be run by compiling the modules, plug‑ins, and connectivity model into a binary and then executing it with the appropriate settings file.
