Detailed Description

Simulation core classes:

• cObject and cOwnedObject are the base classes for most OMNeT++ classes
• cModule and cSimpleModule represent modules in the simulation. The user implements new models by subclassing cSimpleModule and overriding at least its activity() or handleMessage() member function.
• cMessage represents events, and also messages sent among modules
• cGate represents module gates
• cPar represents parameters of modules and channels
• cSimulation stores all modules of the network and the data structure for scheduled events (the future event set) Most methods are used internally, but some are useful for model developers as well.

Many other classes closely related to the above ones are not listed here explicitly, but you can find them via 'See also' links from their main classes.
