There are a variety of tools available to help FlexSim users evaluate their models. Could you specify what you're looking for - are you hoping to extract statistics from your plant, such as throughput and processing time? Are you hoping to optimize your plant? Maybe I just don't understand your question, but it seems that what you're looking for could be found in the Statistics Collector or Experimenter.

Ah. It's worth mentioning that the Experimenter and other advanced features are only available to FlexSim users with a license. I would be happy to provide the information of the distributor for your country if you'd like to contact them about pricing a license.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to run certain features without a license.

Absolutely! You can find the Experimenter under the Statistics tab. I'd recommend looking at the User Manual section entitled "Running Experiments" to learn how this works.

The Statistics Collector can be accessed/used in many ways. I find it easiest to add a dashboard and use the built in statistics trackers as shown here:

Again, there is more information available on this that can be found in the User Manual. Search for "Using the Statistics Collector" to learn more.

If you run into any specific problems/question while reviewing these topics, feel free to reach out to us and we are happy to help. These concepts and others are generally covered in FlexSim training sessions, which may be helpful. If you or your colleagues would be interested in attending one of those, more information can be found on our website.
