When to Simulate?

Overview of Finished Models and Basic Model Building Process

Start with the End in Mind

The result of the model building process in Process Simulator looks like this. It starts with
material or part arrivals, called entities in Process Simulator, on the left side, and they flow
through the processes from left to right, and then the finished product exits the system at the right side once they complete the process.

Define Scenarios in Scenario Manager and See Results in Output Viewer

Define the experimental scenarios you want to test using the scenario manager. As the model is simulating, process performance metrics are being collected behind the scenes for each scenario. 

After the simulation finishes, these metrics are available to be analyzed in the reports and the dashboard module called Output Viewer.
