An increase in the use of simulation as a modelling and analysis tool has resulted in a growing number of simulation software products on the market. Because of this, the importance of an adequate approach to simulation software evaluation and selection is apparent. This paper presents a comprehensive framework which can be used for evaluation of simulation software packages. The evaluation criteria are grouped according to their nature, and they can be of practical use to anyone involved in simulation software evaluation and selection.
