Benefits
SIMUL8 is highly versatile, powerful, and easy-to-use, Windows-based simulation package. You can create your first dynamic model within minutes of installing, and then move on to the fruitful task of making an increasingly accurate representation of your process.
Key Benefits
- SIMUL8 provides helpful defaults to allow quick initial model building during discussions with clients
- Performance data is collected automatically while non-standard measures can be calculated as required
- All animation is automatic with full zoom and pan
- Models can be run at any speed so you can choose whether you want to see the dynamic animation or not
- No limits on model size
- Build your model by drawing it on the screen
- No limit on number of work items (entities) in the model
- Nearly two dozen named statistical distributions and facility for empirical modelling
- Distribution choice can be set to depend on the time of day
- Visual Logic - a menu-driven language that allows you to create any control rules
- Shift patterns, set-up times, change-overs, assembly/disassembly, JIT - these are some examples of what can readily be handled
- Simulation Assistant to monitor your actions and give you tips as you go
- Excellent help files and tutorial material included
- SIMUL8 is a stand-alone full simulation system which can interface directly with Microsoft Excel, Visual Basic, databases, Visio and other flow charting packages including iGraphx, MEGA, Mood, and ProActivity.
- Recent versions of SIMUL8 include a number of former plug-ins as standard. Profit (financial reporting), TimeView (Gantt charts) and some elements of Transport and Process are included in the Standard edition. Stat::Fit (fitting statistical distributions to your raw data) and OptQuest (optimisation of your simulation) are included in the Professional edition along with the full feature set from the former Transport and Process plug-ins. SIMUL8 Professional also includes additional COM, ActiveX and SQL controls, and allows you to create run-time models.
