Used by the world's most successful organizations
Technology to rapidly simulate any process
From operational to strategic, you can model all types of business challenges with SIMUL8's powerful suite of simulation capabilities.
Discrete event simulation
Simulate any existing or proposed business process as a sequence of steps, similar to drawing a flow chart.
Agent-based simulation
Simulate the behavior of individual entities, like people or machines, to understand their impact on a process.
Continuous simulation
Simulate objects that have a continuous or smooth motion, like the flow of water or gas in tanks and pipes.
Hybrid simulation
SIMUL8 enables you to combine different techniques in one simulation to model a broader range of processes.
Designed for rapid process experimentation
We believe simulation should be about making rapid changes to find the most effective ways to improve any process.
SIMUL8’s drag-and-drop interface is designed to maximize ease of use and speed to model any process, no matter the size or complexity.
Intelligent simulation objects give you the power to quickly simulate and experiment with every aspect of the process.
You can even group parts of your simulation into reusable Components to drag-and-drop frequently used equipment, resources and process steps into any simulation.
Fast, accurate results for confident decision-making
Understand how your process is performing and validate what changes will be most effective for your business.
Every object in SIMUL8 can automatically generate results, backed by intuitive features to help you analyze and focus on the KPIs that will inform your decisions. You can also export results in a range of formats to analyze or share using your own tools of choice.
Powerful data inputs and integrations
Easily integrate your simulations with a wide range of data sources for greater accuracy.
Utilizing data enables your simulation to match how your system performs in the real world and gives you to confidence to make bold process improvement decisions.
Engaging, analytical visualization
SIMUL8 offers intelligent 2D visualization - not time-consuming 3D models that don’t always add value.
We want you to build simulations that provide answers in minutes, not months. Working with the simulation community for 25 years, we know that demonstrating the flow of a process with 2D analytical visualizations offers the fastest route to actionable insight.
That doesn’t mean visualization isn’t important! All simulations created with SIMUL8 are animated to help validate that they reflect the real-world process. For example, you can quickly see a queue building up in the simulation where it shouldn’t be.
Visualization and animated onscreen results show the dynamics of a process and how it changes over time. This offers a powerful communication tool, helping stakeholders to understand the process and insight you’ve uncovered.
Deep customization with Visual Logic and APIs
Software that's easy to use, but doesn’t compromise on depth of customization.
We have developed intuitive dialog-driven features for almost every scenario you might want to simulate. In cases where you need even deeper customization, you can use Visual Logic, SIMUL8's powerful yet simple to use scripting tool.
You can use it to control any aspect of your simulation - from incorporating specific rules of your process, to even building your own custom tools or interfaces over SIMUL8.
We also provide APIs to enable you to control SIMUL8 from outside the application, allowing you to integrate simulation directly into your technology stack.
"Our users are often surprised by Visual Logic. It's optimized for ease of use, but without any compromise on power.
From simple tasks like generating custom results, to complete control of the simulation engine – anything you want to do, you can do it without the need to learn a complex programming language.”
Liam Hastie, Consultant
