Simulation Model
This editor appears in the right pane when you double-click a simulation model for editing.
Use this editor to specify the general parameters for this simulation model. How?
Use to specify information about the instance you are creating. To do this, select Specify number of process instances to be created, then specify the number of instances that can exist within the simulation at one time. The process simulation runs until the duration is completed or the maximum number of instances is reached.
When you select a flow node in the left pane, the following tab pages can appear on the right of the Flow Nodes page:
Duration, which enables you to define the amount of time required to complete the simulated activity
Resources, which enables you to specify the number of people assigned to a particular role. You can define this parameter either in a fixed manner in the simulation model or at a global project level in the project simulation definition.
Cost, which enables you to specify both the cost of processing the activity and, if it is an interactive human centric step, the cost of the resources assigned to the activity
Queue Info, which enables you to configure the simulated behavior of how process instances are queued for a given activity
Sequence Flows, which determines probability percentage of instances routed through the different outgoing sequence flows
