How to set up a Speed List

Setting up variables that reference simulation objects is essential when writing complex Visual Logic for SIMUL8. However, when your simulation employs a large number of variable names, (e.g. when using…

Use a Spreadsheet to Generate Batched Arrivals by Day

Many users found using a CSV to generate arrivals very useful, so we decided we’d write a similar tip but instead using internal spreadsheets as an interface. This can be…

Using Labels to determine the number of times a Work Item visits an Activity
