SimWiz

SimWiz, or Simulation Wizard, is an innovative computer program that enables the user to create, test, and analyze discrete event simulation models. This program is highly useful in various industries, such as industrial engineering, service system planning, traffic control, and communication engineering.

Simulation is an integral part of designing systems, and it reveals flaws or allows experimentation before investing in the actual system, thereby saving time and cost. SimWiz brings a new approach to simulation projects, which is patent pending in the US.

Some of the novel features of SimWiz include the fact that the user does not need to be familiar with simulation modules to build a complex model. All that is required is that the user has an understanding of the system under consideration, and they can respond to a series of input requests from the software. Additionally, the model is presented in a human-readable format that can be easily understood by non-specialists, allowing experts to review and contribute to its validity.

The model can be easily communicated, and recipients do not require specialized software to read it. Moreover, the model can be presented as a web-page, making it an invaluable tool for tutoring sessions that explain the model. SimWiz simplifies variance reduction techniques, which increases the accuracy of the results, with a single click, minimizing the need for error-prone manipulation of random streams.

The model can be encoded to make recovering trade secrets from it challenging, making it safer to communicate via unsecured channels. The animation concentrates on validity, simplifying tracing and providing an easy way to validate the model. Additionally, the model can be run in the built-in simulator, or it can be translated to an Arena model.
