What is the simulation strategy of Flexsim?

We learn about dicrete events simulation. There are three main strategies, Event scheduling , Activities scanning and Process interaction. Then, which one is the strategy applied by Flexsim?

Hi @Seamelon Z,

It looks like this question may be part of a homework assignment or academic project. The professors who assign simulation modeling exercises using FlexSim expect that the academic integrity of their assignments will be maintained. In addition, we are supportive of Honor Codes or Pledges that regulate the behavior surrounding academic assignments.

I recommend reading our best practices page on the subject, which includes some resources that you should find helpful as you use FlexSim for academic purposes. I also highly recommend Dr. Allen Greenwood’s FlexSim Primer, which was written specifically for students and professors.

Thank you very much! But this question is not a homework assignment. I cannot find any information about it with google or any textbook including the one of Dr. Allen Greenwood. In some one's course PPT, it just mentions that Arena applies process interaction method with no more information. Maybe there are gaps between simulation theories and applications. The textbook tells us process interaction method includes FES and CES. If Flexsim applies this method, there is no any context about FES and CES in the handbook.

Can you please explain a little more explicitly? Where I can find the related contexts? Handbook or any textbook? The handbook in 2017 version describes "Order of Events" in a Fixed Resource object. But the process interaction method also contains events scheduling which just has been hiden.

In China, you can search the keyword Flexsim through Baidu to see a lot of related introduction materials, while in China there are also some teachers published Flexsim related books, which can also be queried; You can also directly contact the Chinese agent if you have any questions in the future.

This webpage doesnot answer my question. As I said, there are no related introduction materials. And I have read many chinese textbooks about Flexsim simulation. But none have mentioned about that. Maybe I should connect with experts in [email protected]
