SIMUL8 Work Center Properties

Replicate

Specifies an alternative number of processes which perform the same tasks. Using the Replicate number is a way to copy the process.

Default value: 1

Scripting name: Replicate

Capital cost

Specifies the accumulated data on the flows of money at the end of simulation. Financial results can be viewed in SIMUL8, by selecting Finance > Income Statement.

Default value: 0

Scripting name: FinanceCapitalCost

Cost by time unit

Specifies the usage cost of the process by time unit.

Default value: 0

Scripting name: FinanceCostByTimeUnit

Cost by unit

Specifies the usage cost of the process by work unit.

Default value: 0

Scripting name: FinanceCostByUnit

Priority

Specifies that the process with the highest priority will be given the resource first (from 0 to 100), if two processes both require the same resource before they can start working.

Default value: 50%

Scripting name: ResourcePriority

Release

[If unchecked] The resource must wait for the work item, if the process cannot send the work item to the next simulation object.

Default value: true

Scripting name: ResourceRelease

Distribution

Specifies a method for simulating the variations that occur in timing in the process. You can choose between one of the following values:

Scripting name: TimingDistribution

Lower bound

Specifies the lower bound for the uniform timing distribution type. Samples from a uniform distribution are equally spread between the lower bound and the upper bound.

Default value: 10

Scripting name: TimingBoundLower

Upper bound

Specifies the upper bound for the uniform timing distribution type. Samples from a uniform distribution are equally spread between the lower bound and the upper bound.

Default value: 11

Scripting name: TimingBoundUpper

Standard deviation

Specifies the normal timing distribution type. For the average distribution type, the standard deviation value is set to: average value / 4.

Default value: 0

Scripting name: TimingStandardDeviation
