SIMUL8 2011 Feature Tour
SIMUL8's 3D modeling functionality has received a complete overhaul. 3D modeling is now faster than ever, with easy-to-use drag&drop. Make 3D simulations as easily as 2D.
Brand new graphical interface, making the easiest simulation software even easier to use.
- New interface will be familiar to Windows users across the world.
- Designed to put all you need to get started at your fingertips
- We've worked with power users to design the most efficient interface for the best usability experience
- Contextual tabs to help you locate exactly what you need when you need it
- Access all VL work center events in just 2 clicks
SIMUL8 Live Passport
Online, secure project management.
- Access projects from anywhere at anytime with just a web browser
- Manage scenarios and revisions and versions of your simulations
- Store specification and other important documents securely
- Revert between any saved versions easily
- Only available to SIMUL8 Professional users with Annual Maintenance
Share a model with clients and colleagues privately and securely. Let them make changes and see the results.

Instantly adjust the inputs of your simulation. In SIMUL8 2011 you can drop sliders onto the simulation window and easily link them to any variable. As you slide the bar up and down the variable value is changed.
Available as a service pack for 2010, these charts are faster, with more functions and come as standard in 2011.
- Users can choose to show a fixed time interval
- Axis can be fixed so they don't grow during a run
- Users can chose to only show a subset of the chart data, so only the most relevant data is on screen
Now you can set your displays to focus on different areas of your simulation, for instance results only windows.
- New option to have sub windows as tabs at bottom of your SIMUL8 window
- Use the arrows to move quickly between windows
- Right click tab to get at sub window properties or to close tab. Right click to reopen tabs
- Option to add new tab beside tabs
- Choose to show no sub window icon on screen
Add run time descriptions to tell the story, so anyone can follow and understand your simulations easily.
- Tell the story without even being there
- Create better demonstrations for clients and colleagues
- Highlight the most important things in your simulation
To improve the clock's visibility across displays and control the clock's appearance and functionality more easily.
- Pin the clock to main simulation window, or have it in a floating window
- Expand clock to any size
- Choose not to display the clock when you've made your own with Visual Logic
Previously you only had the option to change label values, but with 2011 you can change variables without any Visual Logic coding. You can now do more than just increment or decrement - you can enter a formula editor expression, so you add real power to your simulation.
Now you can easily record your own results, without having to add Visual Logic code - saving time and effort.
