Changing distribution parameters depending on days of the week 

Distributions let you add variation to your simulation model. For timing especially they’re key. You don’t always want to use the same distribution for the whole simulation day though. For example, patients…

How to debug your simulations

A key stage in every simulation project is validating and verifying your simulation. This is where you ensure your simulation is matching the real-world behaviour. It’s an iterative process where…

Creating a rework path with Labels and Actions

To keep your model true to life, some Work Items may need to loop around part of a process more than once. In the manufacturing industry, this could be reworking…

Visualizing bottlenecks in your process

One of the powerful benefits of simulation is being able to visually display the way your system is currently working and the implications of making changes to the system. One…

Using Dialogs and Visual Logic to change parameters on multiple Activities

Simul8 is a great tool for experimenting with different scenarios. All you have to do is change the parameters on your objects.   While you may now be a Simul8 expert,…
