v0.4.0 - Simulation Bridge

Planned: 2026

Overview

Integration with simulation frameworks, enabling executable models from BERT system descriptions. Bridges the gap between visual modeling and dynamic simulation.

Planned Features

Simulation Export

• Agent-Based Model (ABM) Generation - Export to Mesa and NetLogo formats

• System Dynamics (SD) Export - Generate models for SD platforms

• Hybrid Model Support - Combined ABM/SD approaches

Integration Framework

• Mesa Toolkit Bridge - Direct integration with Python simulation ecosystem

• Conservation Validation - Ensure physical law compliance in simulations

• Parameter Mapping - System properties to simulation parameters

Analysis Capabilities

• Behavior Verification - Compare model structure with emergent behavior

• Sensitivity Analysis - Parameter sweep integration

• Results Visualization - Import simulation results back to BERT

Technical Architecture

• Export API - Standardized model transformation pipeline

• Validation Framework - Ensure simulation fidelity to system model

• Bidirectional Data Flow - From model to simulation and back

Value Proposition

Transforms BERT from a static modeling tool to a complete systems analysis platform where models become executable, testable hypotheses about system behavior.
