"Analyze the software for value stream processing."
4.5/5
What do you like best about FlexSim?

Easy to use software with 3D graphics for better visualization of the process and graphs for a better overall process overview. Some simple models can be built very fast with a few clicks. I think that using advanced software called OPTIMISER can be a winning combination because we can precisely calculate the best possibilities in our process without repeating simulations many times. Results can be easily exported and presented in Excel 3D/2D graphs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexSim?

For more advanced simulation models, knowledge of coding/programming is a must. The problem also lies with the Virtual Reality feature because the program is using only one core on the system, which means in larger models, VR simulation is not possible due to low frame rates. I think the program should be optimized to run on multiple cores to be able to use the full power of modern computers. I also miss a larger library of pre-made items/resources. Since our company has a good internal support team for FlexSim, they were able to build a good internal library so we as users have a better and easier experience. Finally, I miss connectivity with other software (in my case, Robot Studio to estimate robot cycle times). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"3D Simulation with some learning curve"
4/5
What do you like best about FlexSim?

Flexsim offers a really nice UI through which simulation scenarios can be easily created. It is possible to import custom CAD files to improve the accuracy of the simulation and have an exact copy of the real process. In order to make an in-depth simulation, it is somehow difficult since you have to write custom code. The process flow tool is really good, once you understand its logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexSim?

It takes some learning time to get used to the program. The manual is sometimes quite unclear, so it is a trial and error process. More than once I had to make suboptimal changes to the real state, in order to represent it in the simulation. With more experience, things will get better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5
What do you like best about FlexSim?

It is a good tool to show customers how their system will and can perform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexSim?

There is often the need of having someone coding for customization. But for an engineer is enough user friendly, if there are enough GUI. I would prefer to have the centralization of modules saved that today there is not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Manufacturing line simulations with interactive tools for improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about FlexSim?

Rendering and animation is almost the way we want it, tools used can improve the lines overall efficiency. Works according to our inputs and many variables can be added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlexSim?

Some critical variables can't be yet put in the current version. Some animation are not the way we want it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
