These tools are not available in a tool palette but only in a marking menu.

The index is located in the left side of the CPN Tools window: The index contains: Tool box: A list of all the palettes available available in CPN Tools. Help: Links to CPN Tools Documentation, Homepage for CPN Tools, Report Bug and other web pages Options: Various options for, e.g. simulation Net overviews: Overviews of the nets that are currently open in the tool.

Marking menus are invoked by pressing with the right mouse button on any element on the screen. The menu is context sensitive: its content depends on where the cursor is located.

This page provides a brief introduction to timed CPNs and related concepts. Nature of simulated time In order to understand how time is represented in a CPN, we must first distinguish clearly between real time and simulated time. Real time is just that: time in the real physical world in which the simulator executes a model and we can watch what happens. Simulated time is […]
