Discrete-Event Simulation with Simul8
What is Simul8?
- Simul8 is a program for simulating systems that involve the processing of discrete
entities at discrete times.
- Consider a restaurant example:
- Clients wait a period of time for service.
- Servers serve them for a period of time.
- The periods of time generally are sampled from a statistical or empirical distribution.
- Simul8 allows the system to be constructed visually.
- Simul8 produces reports after each run with performance of the system.
Systems can also be animated.
