FlexSim Features

Ability to modify 3D primitives (parametric editing tools, free-form editing tools, symmetrical editing process, etc.)

Ability to model discrete event simulation such as analyzing event-driven system models and optimizing performance characteristics such as latency, throughput, and packet loss.

Ability to model continous event simulation

Ability to model a manufacturing processes like casting, molding and die press forming

Ability to integrate with CAD and PLM software

Ability to support a sufficient number of hardware developers (by default or through the use of custom drivers).

Support for custom interfaces designed around specific design tasks, by default (out of the box) or through user customization.

Names of basic commands are clear and easy to understand. On-cursor documentation, such as tool tips and pop-up descriptions, provide clarification of icons and other user interface elements.

Give users the ability to map business processes to representative models.

Allows users to abstract from the particulars of the given use case and processes.

Can produce models that fully capture the dynamics of a business system.

Provides statistics that measure an organization's behavior, activities, and performance.

Provides dashboards and visualizations to evaluate model performance.

Gives users tools to ensure that the model behaves as intended.

Helps users real-world items, such as vehicles, people, buildings, and other items and processes in their models.

Allows users to perform Monte Carlo analysis.

Allows users to perform sensitivity analysis.

Allows users to perform paramenter variation analysis.

Define and manage rules for plant design purposes, such as collision avoidance and equipment overutilization.

Assist with designing the physical structure of a plant, including production line design and manufacturing layout.

Provide a library of components for plant design, such as equipment, electrical and utilities networks, and work stations.

Create 3D models of plants and factories that display their physical structure as well as components like equipment.

Help validate palnt designs through stress simulation and process modelling scenarios.

Use digital twins to create a digital copy of a plant which can be used to simulate design changes and process adjustments.

Allow users to create a virtual tour of the factory or plant which can be shared with stakeholders.

Simulate manufacturing, material handling, and logistics processes to identify bottlenecks and safety concerns.

Enables manufacturing engineering teams to use 3D models of products, equipment, and labor to simulate manufacturing processes

Enables manufacturing engineering teams to use 3D models of plant operations

Integrate with manufacturing software such as CAD, PLM, ERP, and manufacturing exectuion systems (MES).

Support multiple types of data from multiple sources and provide a single repository for all data.

Import and export multiple types of documents such as CAD files, technical specifications, 2D and 3D models.

Deliver insights related to plant design, and identify challenges as well as opportunities for improvement.
