The CIF simulator can be started in the following ways:

In Eclipse, right click a .cif file in the Project Explorer tab or Package Explorer tab and choose CIF simulation, validation and verification tools Simulate CIF specification….
In Eclipse, right click an open text editor for a .cif file and choose CIF simulation, validation and verification tools Simulate CIF specification….
Use the cifsim tool in a ToolDef script. See the scripting documentation and tools overview page for details.
Use the cifsim command line tool.

Once you start the simulator, an option dialog will appear, where you can configure the simulation options.

Instead of a CIF model (e.g. a .cif file), simulation can also be started for a compiled code file (e.g. a .cifcode file). For compiled code files, an additional option is available. The simulator can also be started by double clicking such a file.
