While the most aesthetically pleasing view of the clock is achieved by keeping the clock exactly in line with events on the screen, this is slower than using the text/html 2025-02-12T09:35:56+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) Clock Setup https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:clock:tutorial&rev=1739374556&do=diff Clock Setup There are several things to setup on your clock to ensure you get the most from your simulation. The clock is integral to Discrete Event Simulation because it tells you the time in your model. Before going any further you need to decide which time units to work in (seconds/minutes/hours). You should also think about how long to run your simulation for i.e. do you want to look at your process over a day/week/month/year? text/html 2025-02-25T10:28:12+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) Warm Up Period https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=features:clock:warm_up_period&rev=1740500892&do=diff Warm Up Period The warm up time is the time that the simulation will run before starting to collect results. This allows the Queues (and other aspects in the simulation) to get into conditions that are typical of normal running conditions in the system you are simulating.
