🧩 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐒𝐢𝐦 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫 While debugging a warehouse movement simulation, I noticed something interesting in FlexSim. When multiple items enter a transporter-assigned queue or floor storage at once, 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐒𝐢𝐦 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐧 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 — 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦 — 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. So even if we add routing logic later (like triggers in OnExit or Send To Port), they don’t behave as expected. By then, all task sequences are already created and locked into the event hierarchy — the transport plans are fixed. It’s not a bug; it’s FlexSim’s way of maintaining 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠.

If you're using process maps (and you know you are!) then why wouldn't you want to supercharge them with simulation? Minitab's ability to integrate mapping with simulation is part of our way of not only helping you tackle more complex problems, but also engaging stakeholders to be a part of your project.

Simulations would end up inappropriate when you try to simulate the real-world scenario within the first shot. Try building a small system which can move to a better way and iterate towards bigger model at some point of time. Below is a basic model to understand scheduling problem which will be experimented to get the right direction for the real-world problem. Do you work on complex problems in scheduling then let's connect. #simulation #flexsim #problem #solving #industrial #process #Improvement

The trend in engineering simulation is clear: a move towards greater automation and democratized access. As tools become more powerful, the value of the engineer shifts from just running the software to strategic planning and expert interpretation of the results. #CFD #FutureOfEngineering #DigitalTransformation

One of the most fundamental — yet often overlooked — aspects of NURBS modeling is continuity. In this demo, the new Discontinuity Selector and Critical Points Detector components of #CurvAdapt visualize where curves break their geometric flow — from C0 to C∞. These tools are part of a broader effort to make geometric reasoning explicit, measurable, and ready for automation in early-stage design. The left curve segment is Degree 2, and the right one is Degree 3 — watch how the continuity detection adapts perfectly to both.

Knowing about this feature when building a large AnyLogic model can save you hours of debugging when overlooked. https://lnkd.in/dBehBwqY #TheAnyLogicModeler #Simulation #AnyLogic

During recent user tests, I noticed a recurring learning curve: the distinction between pressing the exit button (REX) to unlock the door versus using the elbow switch to open it automatically wasn't instant for everyone. To bridge this gap between logic and intuition, I added automated door movement to our test rig. Now, the system mimics real-world behavior: → Pressing the REX button: The door unlocks and must be opened manually. → Pressing the Elbow Switch: The door unlocks and opens automatically on its own. This small change in the demo has made a huge difference in user understanding. The interaction is now clear and self-explanatory. Now, I'd love your input on the next step: For demonstrating the night lock mode, what would be more effective? → A full physical simulation (like a bolt locking/unlocking) or → A simple indicator light showing the lock's status. What do you think would be clearer and more valuable in a demo environment? For the curious engineers and developers, here's a simplified look at the control logic that drives the smooth opening and closing sequence.
