Event-Based Simulation

If you design process automation equipment or specialty type machinery then event-based simulation could be a difference making tool for you.

With flexible event-based simulation, your team will be able to integrate design and controls--and streamline your testing and prototype processes. Event-based simulation revolutionizes the way controls and design engineers work together.

In event-based designs, each event is completely tied to its predecessor. If one event takes longer or shorter than anticipated, the rest of the events will adjust accordingly like a row of dominoes. The event-based approach allows you to directly integrate your models with the behaviors you desire, bringing mechanical and electrical design to the forefront while maintaining machine controls flexibility. Event-based simulation accomplishes this in a novel way--instead of defining specific times for events, you can start and stop each event in relation to one another. This translates into major savings because companies can make and modify products during the design process, thus avoiding costly rework during the manufacturing process.
