Simulation Definitions
Simulation Definition
Use this editor to specify the general parameters for this simulation definition. More.
Start Time
Defines the start time for the simulation. This time is used only for logging. It is not used for scheduling purposes.
Duration
Defines the period the simulation will run. This interval is specified in months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
Use Calendar Rule
Determines if calendar rules are used in simulation. Checking this box allows the simulation to account for calendar rules when determining participant allocations.
Let in-flight instances finish before simulation ends
If selected, simulation ends only when the specified number of instances completes. If unselected, simulation stops after the simulation duration is completed. At that point, all incomplete instances are shown in either “in-process” or “queue” status.
The Project page contains a table listing all of the processes within the current project. For each process, you can select which simulation model you want to use. Also, you must specify which processes to include in the simulation.
For all of the included processes, instances are generated when the simulation is run.
Process
Lists the processes that you can include in this simulation.
Model
For each process, lists the model specified in "How to Create and Configure a Simulation Model"
Include in Simulation
Enables you to specify whether to include the process in the simulation.
In the Resources page, you can define the resources used within the simulation. All processes included in the simulation share these resources. The cost of each resource is defined per hour.
To the right of the table are two controls:
Add Resource: Adds a resource to the simulation definition
Specify the parameters in the Resources page as appropriate.
