FlexSim REVIEW

FlexSim is a flexible and powerful 3D simulation software used for modeling, simulating, predicting, and visualizing the systems in various industries which include manufacturing, material handling, healthcare, warehousing, mining, and more. The easy-to-use and user-friendly simulation software helps businesses and organizations improve their processes, discover and remove waste, reduce cost, and increase revenue.

What is more, FlexSim has the capability to simulate systems using 3D visualizations. It also has a library of objects that users can customize as they build models of their systems. With FlexSim, creating layouts and models of systems is a breeze through the aid of its drag-and-drop and point-and-click functionalities. Likewise, analyzing a system using the software is made easy. Users will be able to build 3D charts and graphs right in their models, as well as export reports and statistics. Last but not least, FlexSim permits users to identify the potentials of their systems and optimize them through experimentation.

Simulate Systems Using Realistic 3D Visualization

FlexSim uses the most current and advanced 3D visualizations to aid users in creating realistic presentations of their systems. In fact, it has a graphics library called OpenGL which is also used in today’s hottest 3D games. As a result, they will be able to create realistic spatial relationships, as well as apply dynamic lighting and environmental effects. Thus, they can simulate what’s really going on in their systems and mimic what they actually look like.

Library Of Simulation Objects

Aside from providing users with the capability to take advantage of its 3D visualizations and graphics, FlexSim offers an array of modeling capabilities. Users can instantly build models of their systems from its library of simulation objects. As they select objects from this library, they will be able to mix and match them. They can also create their own simulation objects from scratch.

Custom Graphic User Interfaces And Controls

FlexSim permits the creation of graphical user interfaces or GUIs which users can include in their models. They can build custom interfaces for every custom simulation object they create. Also, the software lets them create custom controls so they can easily manipulate their models. Because of these capabilities, system layouts and models can be used and shared much easier.

Perform System Analysis

Analyzing a system using FlexSim is a breeze. This is because it is built with in-model charts and graphs that dynamically show statistics. The software also has the capability to track data points automatically such as throughput, content, machine, and utilization. With its dashboards, users will be able to generate default reports, or create custom reports that they can export to their existing graphing and analysis programs. If they want to import data from spreadsheets and database applications, FlexSim allows them to do that.

Built-In Experimenter Tool

FlexSim comes with a built-in experimenter tool which enables users to create, view, and test multiple scenarios for their systems. Here, they can change multiple sets of variables and see the results immediately. They will be able to set up and run replications of multiple scenarios, and they can sit back and relax as the software automatically generates results of their experiments.

Identify The Best Scenarios And Optimize Your System

Furthermore, users can experiment with their systems through the aid of OptQuest, an optional add-on to FlexSim which has the capability to suggest the best and ideal scenarios based on the parameters they specify. OptQuest performs tests on various what-if scenarios and identifies those that can yield the best results, helping users optimize their systems. OptQuest is a simulation solution developed by OptTek Systems.
