Matlab Neural networks: why use sim?

After the network has been trained, there seem to be two different ways to utilize the network to make predictions:

(1) test_outputs = net(test_inputs)

(2) test_outputs = sim(net, test_inputs)

What is the difference, and which is better?

The first is newer, so I guess they want you to use it.

I don't know why it was changed.Probably to take some of the load off of sim.

help sim

doc sim
