Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a system and a computer program product for provision of user information within a software-based development environment for designing circuits and/or systems constructed from functional units. In order to provide help which is context-sensitive and can be rapidly grasped by a user, the following procedural steps are proposed: Recognition of a functional unit selected by user, Presentation of a demonstration application within which the selected functional unit is contained, Simulation of the demonstration application and Visualization of the simulation results.
