Several solution techniques for obtaining steady state and transient measures
are currently available in the TANGRAM-II environment. (See
[#!SouG86!#,#!SouG96!#,#!transol2000!#,#!SouG96!#] and also [#!billy-book!#,#!book-escola92!#]
for references on some of the techniques implemented.) Since the tool was
designed mainly to be used for research and education, a few traditional
solution methods were implemented, as well as recently-developed algorithms.
The tool provides several graphical interfaces to allow the specification of
parameter values and to choose the appropriate solution technique. The main
analytical solvers implemented in TANGRAM-II are shown in Figure
.
