Both these sets of people need simulation features that are different from the majority of simulation users but there is a broad overlap between the needs of process industry simulation users and System Dynamics users. Process is that the new objects handle material in a way that is very much more efficient in circumstances where most of the work material is the same. In the process industries this tends NOT to be the case, one cookie is exactly the same as the previous one until a significant batch change happens.
Process is in use - so the unique handling of individual items is available if required.
Process facilities to simulate process operations. Tanks and Pipes, which handle the flows between tanks, are very important for System Dynamics simulation, are also very useful in industries that use liquids or bulk material that is best measured in volume rather than discrete units. Process Simulation Objects are important for the efficiency of process industry simulations. All rights reserved.
