Simul8 Tips
1st Activity runs when 2nd Activity completes – Using Groups
One way to simulate a system where the 1st part of a process cannot start until a later activity has completed is to use groups. By creating Groups in SIMUL8…
Selecting Resources Based on a Label Value
This week, we will look at selecting resources based on a label value. We will use a hospital as an example. We are going to set up our simulation to…
Label-based Batching and Collecting
Using batching, we are able to split a single work item in our simulation into two or more items, which each share the same label attributes as the original work…
Quickly Display Variables on Screen with Visual Data
Add onscreen results or display your process parameters while your simulation is running. In the previous Friday Tip we looked at how to create a ‘Global Variable’ as a way…
Set Common Process Times and Global Variables
Use a single value to set the process time for multiple activities. You have a simulation with lots of activities that all have the same process time. If you need to…
