# Simulator

For help on opening the Simulator, please refer to the Tools page of the Flat or HISC project editor windows.

The DES Simulator is a great addition to DESpot because it allows the user to simulate transitions occurring in order to see how a project of DES will react and function. It allows the user to troubleshoot errors in a project by simulating a specific sequence or group of events. Furthermore, a project's robustness can be checked by having a simulation run for a long period of time.

When the simulator is started, the Simulator Configuration Wizard will open to help you configure the various properties needed to run a simulation. Once you have completed the wizard, you are now ready to start simulating your project.
