CVSIM

.... General simulators, such as Elsim, GPS-CV (Gosser's CVSIM) and Digisim provide powerful tools to study new, hitherto, unknown mechanisms. All the programs may be advantageously applied for educational purposes to visualize the complex relationships between the pertinent electrochemical, kinetic, and thermodynamic parametrs defining and electrode reaction on one hand, and the electroanalytical response, for example, the cyclic voltammogram, on the other hand. Furthermore, such simulations are indispensable tools for a qualitative and quantitative analysis of electroanalytical experiments, resulting in the identification of electrode reaction mechanisms and the characterization of reaction steps.

CVSIM , orinally written in FORTRAN (1985-6) for a mainframe compatible computer at Brown University, was soon after translated into Turbo Pascal 7 (1988). The beautiful Turbo Pascal language became Delphi but the orginal form has been sustained in Free Pascal. CVSIM has been recompiled using Free Pascal. Pascal is chosen for fast execution speed. Email me at gosserch@gmail.com for executable file: cvsim.exe (Windows). Also, please feel free to contact me to discuss how CVSIM might be used to study your system. CVFIT, also available upon reqeust, is a companion program that employs a Monte Carlo Analysis coupled with Nelder-Mead Regression to find the best fit between experimental and simulated data.

Free Pascal Notes

Notes: 1. Used Rangechecking off to allow program to run.

2 . moved the close(doutfile) statement before new simulation request. Data file appears complete.

3. Removed option for second simulation.
