Multi-method modeling to Simul8 any decision
Experiment with and test the outcome of any type of decision cost-effectively - without risk - using Simul8’s powerful multi-method simulation modeling.
Discrete Event
Model any existing or proposed business process as a sequence of steps, like drawing a flow chart.
Agent-based
Model the behaviour of individual people or machines to understand their impact on a process.
Continuous
Model objects that have a continuous motion, like the flow of water or gas in tanks and pipes.
Hybrid
Combine different techniques in one simulation to model a limitless range of processes.
Limitless customization
Simul8’s APIs and powerful scripting tool, Visual Logic, allow for even deeper customization when you need it.
-
Visual Logic
Our Visual Logic scripting tool lets you control any aspect of your simulation. Designed specifically for simulation it is part of what makes Simul8 the fastest simulation tool on the market.
Designed for simulation, Visual Logic provides you with the most intuitive scripting environment. With three modes it grows with you as you learn, and lets you control which environment works for you. From a simple wizard-driven UI to a fully fledged coding environment, anyone can code in Simul8!

"Product is easy to use but the absolute BEST feature is the support. I can shoot an email with a question and get a very helpful response in under a day or, even better, I have emailed them my file and had support respond with where my error was. I wish I could give them 6/5 stars in this category"
