Simulation & Modeling Software



We can understand computer simulation language as the language which describes operation of a simulation on a computer.

It can be broadly categorized in following two categories:

1. continuous
2. Discrete event

Many lnguages have a graphical interface and are capable of performing simple statistical analysis of the results.


While using discrete-event languages we can easily generate pseudo-random numbers and determine variables using different probability distributions.


Some of the Discrete event and continuous language packages have been listed below:


AutoMod
eM-Plant
Arena
ExtendSim simulation environment for discrete event, continuous, discrete-rate and agent-based simulation.[1]
GASP
GPSS
Plant Simulation
Simio software for discrete event, continuous, and agent-based simulation.[2]
SimPLE++
SimPy, an open-source package based on Python
SIMSCRIPT II.5, a well established commercial compiler
Simula
Java Modelling Tools, an open-source package with graphical user-interface[3]
Poses++, a discrete-event simulation system with Petri net based modeling
OMNeT++, a C++-based discrete-event simulation package.
Mirelle, a programming/scripting language with simulation support. [4]


Some of the Continuous simulation languages package are:


  1. Advanced Continuous Simulation Language (ACSL), which supports textual or graphical model specification
  2. Diesel Model Description Language
  3. DYNAMO
  4. SimApp, simple simulation of dynamic systems and control systems [6]
  5. Simgua, simulation toolbox and environment, supports Visual Basic [7]
  6. Simulation Language for Alternative Modeling (SLAM) (There used also be a Simulation Language for Analogue Modeling (SLAM))
  7. VisSim, a visually programmed block diagram language
    Hybrid, and other.
  8. LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim[8], simulation platform to model and analyze multi-domain systems and predict their performances
  9. Flowmaster V7[9] Software for the analysis of fluid mechanics within pipe networks using 1D Computational Fluid Dynamics
  10. AnyLogic multi-method simulation tool, which supports System dynamics, Discrete event simulation, Agent-based modeling
  11. Modelica: open-standard object-oriented language for modeling of complex physical systems
    Simulink: Continuous and discrete event capability
  12. Scicos: Continuous-time, discrete-time and event based simulation tool distributed with ScicosLab: It contains a block diagram editor, a compiler, simulator and code generation facilities: Free software.
  13. XMLlab: simulations with XML
  14. Flexsim:3D process simulation software for continuous, discrete event, or agent-based systems.
  15. Simio software for discrete event, continuous, and agent-based simulation.
  16. EICASLAB:Continuous, discrete and discrete event capability specifically devoted to support the automatic control design.

Inter-Organizational Value Chain

The value chain of   a company is part of over all value chain. The over all competitive advantage of an organization is not just dependent on the quality and efficiency of the company and quality of products but also upon the that of its suppliers and wholesalers and retailers it may use. The analysis of overall supply chain is called the value system. Different parts of the value chain 1.  Supplier     2.  Firm       3.   Channel 4 .   Buyer

Big-M Method and Two-Phase Method

Big-M Method The Big-M method of handling instances with artificial  variables is the “commonsense approach”. Essentially, the notion is to make the artificial variables, through their coefficients in the objective function, so costly or unprofitable that any feasible solution to the real problem would be preferred, unless the original instance possessed no feasible solutions at all. But this means that we need to assign, in the objective function, coefficients to the artificial variables that are either very small (maximization problem) or very large (minimization problem); whatever this value,let us call it Big M . In fact, this notion is an old trick in optimization in general; we  simply associate a penalty value with variables that we do not want to be part of an ultimate solution(unless such an outcome is unavoidable). Indeed, the penalty is so costly that unless any of the  respective variables' inclusion is warranted algorithmically, such variables will ...
