The SIMBA^® simulation system, with its latest version SIMBA 5, allows the holistic consideration of sewer system, wastewater treatment plant, sludge treatment and rivers. All components necessary for a thorough analysis of the constituent subsystems, including their interactions, are now available within the same simulator. SIMBA can be applied for a large variety of tasks in engineering practice and in research and education. This ranges from plant and process design to analysis and operational optimisation of operation of urban wastewater systems. Also interactions of runoff, wastewater treatment and river water quality for scenarios with and without control can be analysed using SIMBA 5.

SIMBA is shipped together with the Matlab^®/ Simulink™ software of MathWorks Inc.; it runs under the Windows 9x, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP operating systems. ifak system GmbH is in charge of sales for SIMBA. Registered SIMBA users can log in themselves in order to get further support for SIMBA.
