Important SIMMOD Notice: AirportTools' Visual SIMMOD data preparation toolkit fully supports the FAA's latest SIMMOD simulation engine. If your vendor's data preparation toolkit doesn't supply and support the FAA's SIMMOD simulation engine then your SIMMOD study may be called into question from a wide variety of parties.

Visual SIMMOD - Complete SIMMOD study preparation tool featuring ease-of-use capabilities such as "SIMMOD In A Day".

If you need your SIMMOD study done yesterday, SIMMOD In A Day is just the tool you need. Most studies can be prototyped in less than a day. The results can then be tailored to your airport's specifics in a few additional days.

For those seeking a robust SIMMOD data input/editing solution, AirportTools has applied it's more than thirteen years of direct SIMMOD experience into the making of Visual SIMMOD.

Visual SIMMOD Animator 3D - Allows you to quickly become part of your JSIMMOD or SIMMOD simulation run(s).

The Visual SIMMOD Animator 3D features:

  • First person navigation which is natural and intuitive to use.
  • Multiple airport support.
  • Curved vehicle paths, including the ability to have multiple airfield aircraft hold on a link, not at a node.
  • Enhanced and easy to use Autocad DXF import capability.
  • Multiple texture files support.
  • Highly accurate three dimensional vehicles.
  • Innovative fly-through capability automates scene traversals.
  • Available for both Microsoft and Linux operating systems.
  • Included with Visual SIMMOD at no extra charge.

JSIMMOD - JSIMMOD simulates both airport and airspace operations in great detail. On the airfield complex runway, gate, and taxiway operations are all simulated. In the airspace, tracon and en-route traffic are both simulated.

A typical application of JSIMMOD would be for an airport's planning staff to use the tool to evaluate the efficacy of adding a new runway.

JSIMMOD is an advanced object-oriented replacement for SIMMODtm written in the Java programming language for cross platform convenience and superior runtime stability. Currently JSIMMOD is under development.

Additional features include built-in Jython scripting, innovative broadcaster/listener capabilties, open source development, and full compatibility with SIMMOD 2.5 input and output files.

INMBatch - Run your INM (Integrated Noise Model) studies batch! Don't sit around waiting for your INM studies to run. Let INMBatch automate the process for you so you can run those same INM studies overnight or during your lunch break.

INM to SIMMOD - Create a SIMMOD study directly from your INM 6.1 (or INM 6.0) study. If you already have an INM study you can quickly create a SIMMOD study using the INM to SIMMOD Tool.

INM to SIMMOD creates complete SIMMOD runways, routes, and flight schedules automatically to either Visual SIMMOD, CSV, or DBF file formats.

INM to SIMMOD can be purchased separately or, even better, it is free with your purchase of Visual SIMMOD.

SIMMOD to INM - Turn your pre-existing SIMMOD study data into INM study data. The SIMMOD to INM Tool converts your SIMMOD routes into INM tracks as well as the simulated SIMMOD flights into INM flights.

Advanced features include the ability to combine multiple SIMMOD applications into one INM study, a batch processing setup tool, and the ability to convert a SIMMOD study directly from raw SIMMOD outputs.

APECS Animator - A highly advanced 2d Animation program that offers the ability to display the results from JSIMMOD or SIMMOD simulation runs. INM radar data may also be displayed.

Important Note: Users of the APECS Animator may re-distribute the program with their data free-of-charge.

The APECS Animator features:

  • Easy refresh of SIMMOD data after JSIMMOD has finished running.
  • INM radar data compatibility.
  • Curved vehicle paths, including the ability to have multiple airfield aircraft hold on a link, not at a node.
  • Enhanced Autocad DXF import capability.
  • A scripted Trade Show mode.
  • A unique vehicle editing tool.
  • Integrated help.
  • State of the art printing.
  • Jython scripts execution capability.


SIMU26 Explorer - This tool enhances the analyst's ability to review SIMMOD's SIMU26 (History file) output file. Color coded data, unique searching capability, and automatic file reloading make this a must tool for those who need additional productivity.
SIMU04 Explorer - Similar to the SIMU26 Explorer, the SIMU04 Explorer provides time saving functionalities such as the ability to review multiple SIMU04 files simultaneously, three different color coding schemes, sophisticated regular expression searching and matching, and two different regular expression editors with checking capability..
Visual Terminal - We're working on a new passenger terminal simulation model, click here to see a snapshot of this exciting new program.
