I am interested in this too!  Have you taken a look at the CSIM program
available through MCC?  It's only $150 and runs on a variety of machines.
Also have you though about using Smalltalk for you simulation?  
I think that C++ is an attempt to mimic some of the concepts promoted in Smalltalk.  

Smalltalk already has simulation classes for doing discrete event simulation, 
although I do not know if it can do higher level process simulation.

Please let me know which route you take for your project, I need to do something
similar soon.
