Avis sur FlexSim
Igor
Great looking and advanced simulations
Commentaires : I am a teacher in university. I had never worked with simulation software before, so it was my first software of such type. FlexSim is just a whole universe, with it's own logic and rules. If you want to do BIG things with it - you have to understand all of these rules, accept them and change your own thinking to follow that rules (to think like FlexSim would think). I am a very advanced user of Excel, and Excel is a large universe as well. But now I am wondering which of them is bigger.
Avantages :
Great visualization makes it very pleasant to start learning; Lots of built-in features, Data import-export; Different modes (3D, ProcessFlow), where you can work simultaneously or independently; Strong statistics (distributions), that can be integrated on the models, collecting and presenting data; Anything you lack regarding the model or actor logic can be added as code snippets; Really basic models can be made in minutes
Inconvénients :
It becomes difficult to learn it when you go in deep. The really basic actions are easy and intuitive, like for kids. But when you get to something just little more complex - it requires a lot of additional knowledge. Little community tutorials. There are not many community samples and tutorials on youtube or in the web. Most of them are over basic functions - you probably will need to enroll a training.

Thank you for your review, Dr. Sheludko! We're pleased to hear that you've enjoyed FlexSim's wide range of features and capabilities. It's true that complex systems can be challenging to model in any simulation analysis platform -- we try to make it as simply as we can, and welcome any additional feedback you have in helping us reach this goal.

Long time Simulation practitioner
Commentaires : We are using FlexSim to evaluate a new production line, everything from equipment capability, line control logic and staffing. The data from the simulations has enabled us to reduce staffing, and equipment requirements.
Avantages :
Very easy to build a simple model with the 3D Objects. The 3D objects have enough hooks in place to deal with more complex situations as well. There is no need to know programing language. The software is a tool that can be used by both the novice and experienced modeler.
Inconvénients :
The users manual is a bit hard to follow, and missing some information. I would like more options for flow item shapes and shapes for resources.

Thank you for your review, Dhuey! We're glad to hear that you've found FlexSim capable of both simple and complex simulation models. Let's connect offline and discuss some of your suggestions for item shapes -- I'm sure our developers would appreciate the info.

Cool Visuals But Not Sure on Implementation
Commentaires : My overall experience with FlexSim has been basically of uncertainty with it being a new software that I do not find easy to use and has not been implemented with my company. The training was disappointing as there were technical issues and we “hit the ground sprinting” from my experience of not knowing how to start a new project and then too large of a group to get the specialized assistance needed.
Avantages :
What I liked most about this software was what I saw in a presentation that was able to simulate a logistics warehouse and was very helpful and informative for future clients to see actual 3D modeling showing more than be stated just in words.
Inconvénients :
What I liked least about this software was that the training seemed to not be directed at my industry as the first few days were very random and there was not a good introduction on how to use the software from a very basic understanding.

FlexSim Modeling
Commentaires : Good initially during classroom session followed by coaching provided by trainer post training. As we only use FlexSim maybe 1-2 times per year, was a struggle trying to remember the system features especially for complex processes. Suggest if FlexSim is conducting new classes, that the previous members can sign up for refresher course at a much lower fees i.e. join the class together with the new sign up. This will allow a continuation of interest & the use of FlexSim.
Avantages :
It does have easy to use icon bars & links that can piece a simple flow together. Able to generate statistics for basic flow through the simulated data.
Inconvénients :
For more complex process with more variable data, it becomes more difficult to use the tools. Need good knowledge of FlexSim to apply the variables required to make the simulation closer to the real process. Without frequent practices & application, the knowledge erodes fast.

Thank you for your review, Jake! We're glad to hear that you've enjoyed some of our easy-to-use modeling and statistics features. I'd really like to connect offline about post-training retention ideas -- this is very important for us, so your feedback would be quite helpful.

The standard for process modeling
Commentaires : Good. I've enjoyed using it. It's become required in our company to model current and future states of areas and present for cost-justification for those projects.
Avantages :
Uses a common programming language if you need to customize options past what's provided.Provides enough visual and process flow blocks pre-configured to suit most of my needs.Able to present statistics easily.
Inconvénients :
The graphics engine could have been better. Possibly using something like the Unreal engine, which is made to do these things. As it is it has issues with complex models, even on a computer that has a dedicated graphics card. Some minor stability issues.When you change the name of an object, the places where it's referenced in custom codes, etc... do not update. This becomes incredibly model-breaking when you have a large and complex model.The software was not designed to model large, complex facilities. So you have to really learn it to work-around it's limitations.
