SIMUL8 work center property sheets contain all the standard process tabs, along with the Simulation tab.
The following simulation properties apply to atomic and reuse processes only:
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
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 . Default value: 0 Scripting name: FinanceCapitalCost |
|
Cost by time unit / Cost by unit |
Specify the usage cost of the process by time unit and work unit. Default value: 0, 0 Scripting name: FinanceCostByTimeUnit, 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:
Scripting name: TimingDistribution |
|
Lower / Upper bound |
Specify the lower and upper bounds 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, 11 Scripting name: TimingBoundLower, 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 |
