# Introduction

**Mission**: make SBML simulations great again

The idea of sbmlsim is to provide a simple abstraction layer for running
simulations with SBML models in python.

**Simplicity**
- make it easy to encode simple simulation experiments with a focus
    on numerical ODE simulations 

**Simulation**
- timecourse simulations
- combined simulation experiments (combination of changes)
- parameter scans
- parameter sensitivity analysis

A simplified exchange language based on JSON is part of `sbmlsim` 


**Visualization**
- interactive plots (altair)

**Parallelization**
-  simple parallelization of multiple simulation, collection of results

**Parameter fitting**
- helpers for using model + data to run simulations on a cluster

**Unit support**
