Pros

“I like that I can see the movement of entities and the structure layout of the simio object library.”
SM

Sfiso M.

Engineer-In-Training (Industrial)

Pros

“There is actually not a thing that I can say I do not like but maybe there could be flexibilities that two resources can be simultaneously assigned to a product in parallel two sided assembly lines”
IK

Ibrahim K.

Academic

“Especially for queueing simulation, it is the most efficient software I reviewed!”

Cons

“Cannot do very detailed motion-modeling.”

Cons

“A powerful tool for process simulation. While the user interface may appear outdated compared to state-of-the-art options, this doesn’t reflect its robust capabilities.”

“The graphs display poor visualisations.”

“My one and only gripe, I wish simul8 would auto update itself.”
