Simcad^® Process Simulation: Capabilities

2D and 3D Visualization / Animation

Dynamic Value Stream Mapping

Multiple Scenario Analysis

Custom Reports & Dashboards

Scheduling and Gantt Chart

Reporting and Analytics: Real-time metrics dashboards, scenario analysis and comparison, detailed reporting and historical charts.
Mathematical Modeling: Design and execute simulation workflows based on custom mathematical formulas.
Direct Manipulation: In real-time during the simulation run. Make changes to the model and visualize the effect without starting/stopping the simulation.
3D Modeling: Detailed visualization and animation of the model in 3D. Support for Virtual Reality systems.
Graphical Modeling: Graphically build the model using singular model build environment. Define the model in a single view and visualize it in 2D, 3D and Virtual Reality.

2D & 3D Animation

Integrated 2D and 3D visualization engine provides both 2D and 3D visualization with detailed animations.

Includes Custom dashboards, full 3D Animation capability, Auto-scaling from CAD files, collision detection, and support for a large set of 2D and 3D file formats.

Library-based customizable icons supporting multiple 2D & 3D file formats
Real-time visualization in 2D and 3D with animated 2D and 3D components
Automatic creation of animated flows
Unlimited nesting of flow layers and elevations

Real-Time Data and External Connectivity

External Data Systems (Extensive connectivity to most data systems) - Unlimited number of external data connections or applications.

Connect prior to, during, and after the simulation run. Analyze data with the built in scenario manager, or export it to a wide variety of applications.

Integrated connectivity tools to most data systems including WMS, ERP, WCS, EMR/EHR, databases and Excel
Use actual data to increase model accuracy, support seasonality transition analysis, improve validation, and increase model flexibility
Automation capabilities include AGV's, AS/RS, Robots, and other automated equipment

LEAN and Six Sigma Implementation

Multiple Scenario Analysis

On-Screen Dashboards

Custom Fit Distributions

Custom Reports

Integrated Lean Metrics and Value Stream Mapping

With every model built, Simcad^® automatically computes and generates the model value stream map and all required lean analysis

Including Spaghetti Diagrams, Swim Lanes, heat maps, efficiency and OEE analysis. Simcad^® also provides an extensive list of reporting and analysis tools to further improve the lean analysis environment:

Updates to the model constraints are dynamically transferred to the Value Stream Map and analysis
Cycle time breakdown showing non-value added time and schedules in a spreadsheet and Gantt chart format
Built in Scenario Analyzer tool with full graphing capability, interval analysis, variability and case analysis
Automated scenario control generation
Analyze and compare model variability
Generate data distribution for all tracked parameters
Simulation data-reset eliminates the effect of "warm-up" time
