Are there any other ways to analyze costs in Flexsim other than through “Financial analysis”?
FlexSim is a very dynamic tool, so there are countless ways to model and analyze anything, including costs. I'll suggest a few ideas I have right off the bat, but if you could give more details as to what you're hoping to analyze, that might prompt a better response to your question.
One alternative to the "Financial Analysis" tool would be to use dashboard statistics or record to tables, then export that data into Excel. Then, using Excel, you can manipulate and analyze that data however you'd like.
Labels may also serve as a good tracker. For example, if you have operators that are paid by the hour, you could increment a label value on the operator at regular intervals that represents his potential earnings.
Another good alternative could be using a Calculated Table. The Calculated Table tool in FlexSim allows you to extract data from tables and then alter that table by adding functions and aggregations. For more information, you can see the Calculated Tables User Manual Section.
Hopefully this gives you some ideas to consider.
