Simile 是一种可视化建模环境，旨在克服使用传统编程语言实现农业生态模拟模型所涉及的问题：模型编程所需的精力和技能、作为程序实现的模型缺乏透明度以及模型和子模型缺乏可重用性等问题。它将熟悉的系统动力学（室流）范式与基于对象的范式相结合，允许处理多种形式的分解，以及空间建模和基于个体的建模。其可视化建模界面使得非程序员也可以使用它，同时允许模型在很大程度上自我记录。模型可以像编译的 C++ 程序一样非常高效地运行，并且用户可以开发新的可视化工具来显示模型结果。明喻已被用于国际研究项目，包括地中海植被动态建模和发展中国家林缘家庭与土地之间相互作用的建模。 Simile 是本着模型共享开放标准的精神开发的。模型以结构化格式保存为文本文件，以便与其他建模环境共享模型，并鼓励其他人开发用于处理模型的其他工具。 (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. 保留所有权利。
Simile is a visual modelling environment that has been developed to overcome the problems involved in implementing agro-ecological simulation models using conventional programming languages: problems such as the effort and skill needed to program the models, the lack of transparency in models implemented as programs, and the lack of reuseability of models and submodels. It combines the familiar System Dynamics (compartment-flow) paradigm with an object-based paradigm, allowing many forms of disaggregation to be handled, as well as spatial modelling and individual-based modelling. Its visual modelling interface makes it accessible to non-programmers, at the same time allowing models to be largely self-documenting. Models can be run very efficiently as compiled C ++ programs, and users can develop new visualisation tools for displaying model results. Simile has been used in international research programmes, including the modelling of Mediterranean vegetation dynamics and modelling the interaction between households and land at the forest margin in developing countries. Simile has been developed in a spirit of open standards for model sharing. Models are saved as a text file in a structured format, with a view to enable model sharing with other modelling environments and to encourage others to develop additional tools for working with models.
