NAME
trick-sie - Trick Smart Input Editor

SYNOPSIS
trick-sie [substring]

DESCRIPTION
The Trick Smart Input Editor (sie) is a simulation variable query utility. The Monte Monitor connects to the Trick monte carlo master simulation through the simulation variable server.

Without arguments trick-sie starts a GUI wih a hierarchial tree of simulation_objects, structures/classes, and the variables contained within. Selecting a variable shows the C/C++ type of the variable, the Trick input/output capabilities, the measurement units, and the comment associated with the variable.

substring
    Calling trick-sie with a substring does not start the GUI. Instead the tree of variable names is searched for substring. All variable names containing substring will be printed along with the Trick input/output capabilities, the measurement units, and the comment associated with the variable.

SEE ALSO
All Trick model developers and users should go through the tutorial found in the Trick Simulation Environment User Training Materials. The canonical reference for all Trick cosieands, files and utilities is the Trick Simulation Environment User's Guide. Information specific to a given release of Trick tools is contained in the Trick Simulation Environment Version Description for that release.

HISTORY
The sie started as an input file text editor. The sie was aware of simulation sim_objects and the variable names contained within math model structures. sie was not used much as users favored more capable editors such as vi and emacs. sie was later repurposed as a simulation variable query utility. This is why the Smart Input Editor has no editing capabilites. 1991-2000 : sie written in C by Rob Bailey and Eddie Paddock 2001-2009 : sie written in Tck/Tk by Keith Vetter 2010-present : trick-sie written in Java by Hong Chen
