Simulation
 
The simulation environment is implemented in Java Platform 2 with Java 3D. There are three modes of operations: applet, stand-alone and remote server. 

In order to run the simulation in Netscape, you should:
Use Netscape 4.5 or higher. You can download the browser in www.netscape.com/download/index.html.
Install Java Plugin. You can get the plugin from java.sun.com/products/plugin/index.html.
Install Java 3D JRE. You can get Java3D from java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/index.html. (Note that there is an error in JRE or Netscape browser. You need to copy JAR files from lib/ext to lib in order to make the browser sees the files).
Use Java Plug-in Control Panel to set Java Run Time Environment to the one with Java 3D JRE.
If the color looks fuzzy in the 3D graphics, set the display to 65536 colors.

Then read the document, and Try Simulation.

If you want to run it in stand-alone or remote server mode, then download the software.
