Vensim Features

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

Ability to access basic drawing tools (line, circle, polygons, etc.)

Ability to access basic editing tools (erase, trim, extend, undo, etc.)

Ability to access rendering tools (lighting tools, texture mapping, custom material creation, etc.)

Ability to conduct computational fluid dynamics and thermal analysis

Ability to conduct finite element analysis test

Ability to conduct kinematics and dynamic analysis of mechanisms

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 conduct mechanical 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.

Support for multiple user interface customizations. Can store and recall interfaces as required by a specific user without closing the application and without the need for scripting knowledge.

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.

Provides maps to allow users to visualize their simulations in the real world.

Allows users to perform Monte Carlo analysis.

Allows users to perform sensitivity analysis.

Allows users to perform paramenter variation analysis.
