Continuous event modeling Ability to model continous event simulation Manufacturing process simulation Ability to model a manufacturing processes like casting, molding and die press forming Integrate Ability to integrate with CAD and PLM software Show More ##### ## Environment (3) Hardware support Ability to support a sufficient number of hardware developers (by default or through the use of custom drivers). Task Support for custom interfaces designed around specific design tasks, by default (out of the box) or through user customization. Command Clarity 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. Show More ##### ## Model Development (3) Process Mapping - Simulation Software Give users the ability to map business processes to representative models. Abstraction - Simulation Software Allows users to abstract from the particulars of the given use case and processes. Model Creation - Simulation Software Can produce models that fully capture the dynamics of a business system. Show More ##### ## Performance Metrics (2) Statistics - Simulation Software Provides statistics that measure an organization's behavior, activities, and performance. Performance Visualization - Simulation Software Provides dashboards and visualizations to evaluate model performance. Show More ##### ## Visualizations (2) Verification - Simulation Software Gives users tools to ensure that the model behaves as intended.

Sensitivity Analysis - Simulation Software Allows users to perform sensitivity analysis. Parameter Variation Analysis - Simulation Software Allows users to perform paramenter variation analysis. Show More ##### ## Design & Modeling - Plant Design Management Systems (4) Rules-Based Design Define and manage rules for plant design purposes, such as collision avoidance and equipment overutilization. Structural Design Assist with designing the physical structure of a plant, including production line design and manufacturing layout. Component Library Provide a library of components for plant design, such as equipment, electrical and utilities networks, and work stations. 3D Modeling Create 3D models of plants and factories that display their physical structure as well as components like equipment. Show More ##### ## Simulation & Optimization - Plant Design Management Systems (6) Virtual Validation Help validate palnt designs through stress simulation and process modelling scenarios. Digital Twins Use digital twins to create a digital copy of a plant which can be used to simulate design changes and process adjustments. Virtual Tour Allow users to create a virtual tour of the factory or plant which can be shared with stakeholders. Processes Simulate manufacturing, material handling, and logistics processes to identify bottlenecks and safety concerns. Process Simulation Enables manufacturing engineering teams to use 3D models of products, equipment, and labor to simulate manufacturing processes Plant Simulation Enables manufacturing engineering teams to use 3D models of plant operations Show More ##### ## Data Management - Plant Design Management Systems (4) Integration Integrate with manufacturing software such as CAD, PLM, ERP, and manufacturing exectuion systems (MES). Data Types Support multiple types of data from multiple sources and provide a single repository for all data. Import and Export Import and export multiple types of documents such as CAD files, technical specifications, 2D and 3D models. Insights Deliver insights related to plant design, and identify challenges as well as opportunities for improvement.
