Creating Breakdown Profiles in your simulation

Industries, such as automotive, heavily rely on an accurate representation of breakdown profiles of their machinery. SIMUL8 offers a wealth of options for modeling breakdowns, which allow your simulation to…

New Whitepaper ‘Breakdowns Happen: How to Factor Downtime into your Simulation’

“One of the most debatable pieces of data that goes into a simulation is the stochastic behavior of machine downtime”. Simulation expert Brian Harrington explains the key learning points modelers…

Segregate Results by Label

(Please note this tip is relevant for numerical labels only). A Work Item’s label value is likely to have an impact on its flow through your simulation. Results for Work…

Remember the current Work Item

(Relevant for advanced SIMUL8 users) When working on a simulation, there may be some instances when some of the code you write changes the focus of your Work Item. Commands…
