The SIMUL8 Brain

Friday’s Tip – Keeping clients’ files confidential

One of the problems that you will encounter in any development project is version management. A quick solution to this is to use a sensible naming convention for all different…

Friday’s tip – Build simulations faster using the paddle

Developing a simulation in SIMUL8 is like developing a process map in Visio. You simply drag objects onto your simulation window and connect them with links. Although this is already…

Friday’s Tip – Connect resources to work centers quickly

Setting up resources in SIMUL8 is probably one of the last things to when building a simulation model. Generally first, you will get the flow of your work items through…

Friday’s Tip – Random numbers

To allow you to analyze the effect changes you make have on your simulation model SIMUL8 keeps the random seed number the same for each run by default. This way…

Friday’s Tip – Where does that link to?!

In larger simulations, or simulations with many links it can be difficult to work out what is routing to what. This gets a lot harder when Storage Bins are involved…
