Simcad® Simulation Modeling Advantages

Animation Capability:

Simcad® model development may be done in either 2D or 3D space. Simcad® dynamically creates the other views in the background. Changes to one view affect all others, while analysis can be done in any view without impacting the model results. Moreover, Value Stream Maps are automatically created from the developed model, and update based on the system constraints.

Attributes and Model Parameters:

With Simcad® attributes and global variables or custom parameters can be assigned to any entity in the model. The defined parameters can then be used to control all aspects of the simulation environment either through the graphical interface or through defined code extensions.

CAD Interface:

Simcad® can load multiple CAD files as DXF or DWG. The loaded CAD files provide spatial configuration to the model and is used to compute distances between entities, travel distances of objects and resources, and overall system congestion in the aisles. Congestion analysis and travel constraints are directly incorporated in the model analysis.

Customized Reports:

In addition to the extensive integrated analysis Simcad® supports custom reports tailored to the specifics requirements of the model. All reports are available during, at the end, and well after the run is completed.

Custom Performance Measures:

Simcad® can capture custom performance measures and make them available for reporting or through on-screen gauges/graphs. Resource utilization, category-wise resource/time spending etc are all included metrics that Simcad® provides automatically.

Ease of Model Development:

On-The-Fly simulation allows the modeler to modify and develop the simulation while the engine is running. The modeler can visually validate the changes during the model development cycle, cutting development time by more than 50%.

Exporting Model Data:

Simcad® exports data to CSV, pdf, and through direct ADO connectivity. Simcad® is able to auto-create and export analysis data during the simulation run to the supported external data stores.

External Interfaces:

Simcad® has built in REST API interface to import data sets through web calls. Data returned in JSON format is auto parsed and inserted into the internal data tables. Simcad® also interfaces to Kepware systems in order to communicate with live PLC systems.

Importing Model Data:

Simcad® supports multiple types of data connectivity including Excel Interfaces, CSV file loading, and direct ADO interfaces. Simcad® does not limit the amount of data that can be imported or accessed by the model. Multiple data sources may also connect to the model in real-time and accessed during the simulation run. Simcad® interfaces to most EMR, ERP, SAP, WMS, WES, WCS systems in use today.

Independent Simulation Replications:

Simcad® includes fully integrated Monte Carlo simulation capability as well as model scenario analysis

Input Data Analysis Capability:

Importing Data into Simcad® will be analyzed and presented through graphs and reports that data can then be applied directly to the model as-is or as the analyzed distributions.

Interactive Run Controller:

Simcad® Dynamic Simulation software is the only interactive modeling environment allowing the simulation model to be updated and changed during the simulation run. The user can interact with the simulation model during the run. modify constraints, add processes, change routings, and add pathways. All model constraints can be modified during the run.

Maximum Model Size:

Simcad® has no limit to the model size. This is inherent from the 64bit environment enabling full implementation of large models and digital twin modeling.

Model Execution Speed:

Simcad® is a 64bit application (both the engine and interface), and supports multithreading to enable faster simulation runs. Simcad® has no data or model size limits, and will utilize all the processor cores that it is allowed to use.

Random Variable Generator:

Simcad® has a built in curve fitting and random variable generator. The curve fitting system can data fit the imported data set based on a 10th degree polynomial, hence providing the most accurate data fitting algorithm available in a simulation tool. Moreover, models can request the data fitting to be recomputed at any point prior or during the simulation run.

Run-Only Version:

Simcad® does include a run-only version as well as a movie capture feature. the Run Time version is provided with and without analysis capability. The Simcad® viewer provide a simple interface to run the model in a controlled environment. The Simcad® viewer w/Analysis allows the user to modify key constraints and import additional data set into the model before each run.

Run-Time Flexibility:

Simcad® On-The-Fly simulation allows full model interaction and build out while the simulation is running. Multiple simulations may be run at the same time using the same roaming license. Simcad® can also be controlled through a command line interface with parameters defining the simulation parameters.

Standardized Reports:

Simcad® contains extensive integrated analysis. Reporting is provided in gauges, graphs, spreadsheets, scenario analysis, routing analysis, spaghetti diagrams, heat maps, and value stream maps. All data is reported for every process, object, resource and for the overall model. Every data point is preserved for future analysis. No coding is required to access the data. All reports are available during, at the end, and well after the run is completed.

Syntax and Coding Interfaces

Models created through the Simcad® GUI do not generate code as the constraints are directly passed to the simulation engine. This eliminates the need for visually inspecting syntax as there is no code to inspect. Moreover, Simcad®'s extension builder is setup to minimize syntax errors generated by adding code customization to the model.
