Simulations
On this page
You may utilize your model to test many different alternatives and optimize for the best design that fulfills your project requirements in the simulation mode. This saves time and money by verifying that your design satisfies project goals ahead of time and avoiding mistakes.
Simulation Panel
The simulation panel will appear in the top-right corner of the UI:
-
Sources: Indicate the quantity emitted.
-
Processors: Indicate the current production rate for the present operation.
-
Buffers: Indicate the capacity in quantity and percentage.
-
End Products: Indicate the number of processed items.
You can select the preferred target type. Product: See the product object in your process analysis mode to set the target quantity.
Or set the target type to time: This effectively makes it so that the simulation will continue until it reaches the selected time value.
In the simulation, the target type "Time" refers to the length of time that the simulated system is run. The simulation is useful for statistics or to see how the flow of product behaves across a fixed timeline.
As the simulation progresses, data for each item appears:
The simulation stops when the final products reach their selected goal quantity or when the time runs out. Regardless of that, it is possible to continue the simulation and measure the aftermath. Simply adjust the target quantity of one or multiple sources or increase the time and wait for the final report.
