Activities cannot start work until both a Work Item is available and the specified Resources are also available.

Work done at Acitivities usually takes up time and sometimes requires the availability of Resources. At an Activity a Work Item may be transformed in some way (perhaps by changing one or more of its Label). After the work is done the Work Item may be sent on to another simulation object, or one of a number of different simulation objects depending on routing rules that can be specified. text/html 2025-04-03T12:54:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=model_building_basics:simulation_objects:workentrypoints&rev=1743702889&do=diff Start Points The Start Point is a simulation object where Work Items enter the Simulation. There is no limit to the amount of Start Points within a simulation. Each Start Point can feed work in using different statistical distributions and schedules. Each one can also feed in Work Item types of different types depending on the parameter of the System being simulated. text/html 2025-04-03T12:58:55+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.simul8.com/support/help/doku.php?id=model_building_basics:simulation_objects:workexitpoints&rev=1743703135&do=diff End Points An End Point is a place where work that is complete, or otherwise finished, leaves your simulation. At the point in time when each Work Item leaves, data is recorded about how long it has spent in the simulation (from the time when it entered through a
