Five Step Guide to Simulation

This paper briefly details the 5 main steps you should take each time you build a simulation.

Structuring a SIMUL8 Simulation (PDF)

Before you start building a simulation it's worth taking a step back and thinking about what you are going to simulate and why. This paper produced by one of our consultants should help you do this.

Integrated MCDA : A Simulation Case Study (PDF)

Written by our CEO and the University of Strathclyde this paper demonstrates with a case study how MCDM can be integrated with simulation to provide a more complete decision support tool.

The Role Of Simulation In The Development Of Intelligence For Flexible Manufacturing Systems (PDF)

Written by Brian Flanagan, a member of our SIMUL8 Research Scheme, and David Walsh, this paper details a case study in which a simulation model and an optimization strategy are integrated as part of an intelligent decision maker.
