Simulation :
Imitating or estimating how events might occur in a real situation. It can involve complex mathematical modeling, role playing without the aid of technology, or combinations. The value lies in the placing you under realistic conditions, that change as a result of behavior of others involved so you cannot anticipate the sequence of events or the final outcome.

h5utils
h5utils is a set of utilities for visualization and conversion of scientific data in the free, portable HDF5 format (http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/).
Besides providing a simple tool for batch visualization as PNG images, h5utils also includes programs to convert HDF5 datasets into the formats required by other free visualization software (e.g. plain text, Vis5d (http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis5d.html), and VTK (http://public.kitware.com/VTK/)).
The included utilities are:
h5totxt and h5fromtxt: convert HDF5 datasets to/from ASCII text (e.g. comma- or tab-delimited). See the man pages of h5totxt (http://ab-initio.mit.edu/h5utils/h5totxt-man.html) and h5fromtxt (http://ab-initio.mit.edu/h5utils/h5fromtxt-man.html) for more information.
h5topng: convert 2d slices of HDF5 datasets to PNG (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/) images, with a variety of color tables and other options. See the man page (http://ab-initio.mit.edu/h5utils/h5topng-man.html) for more information.
h5tov5d: convert HDF5 datasets to the format used by the free 3d+ visualization tool Vis5d (http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis5d.html). See the man page (http://ab-initio.mit.edu/h5utils/h5tov5d-man.html) for more information.
h5tovtk: convert HDF5 datasets to VTK format for use by the free Visualization ToolKit (http://public.kitware.com/VTK/) (along with supporting programs like MayaVi (http://mayavi.sourceforge.net/)).
h5math: create and combine HDF5 datasets with simple (pointwise) mathematical expressions. (Requires GNU libmatheval (http://www.gnu.org/software/libmatheval/) to be installed.)
h5read.oct: a plug-in for GNU Octave (http://www.octave.org/) (a Matlab-like program) to read 2d slices of HDF5 datasets. (The latest versions of Octave also include native support for HDF5, although it can't read slices like the h5read plug-in.)
h5fromh4 and h4fromh5: convert HDF (version 4) datasets to and from HDF5. These utilities are somewhat reduandant with the h4toh5 (http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/h4toh5/) and h5toh4 programs provided by NCSA (which are no longer bundled with HDF5, however).
