A good general purpose DES simulation software

I have successfully used Flexsim to validate engineering design of production systems for many years. I think I extracted the most out of Flexsim because I could easily programmed to obtain what I needed. Flexsim introduced ProcessFlow more recently and this feature reduced the programming effort needed to implement logic in a model while centralizing the logic and facilitating the debug, particularly when working with mobile resources. I greatly appreciate this feature.
Pros
I like the fact that the development license gives you access to all the features of the software so you don't have to buy extra add-ons to do your job. It has good basic objects and toolbox functionalities and great 3D capability. Lists where you put all sort of information and query it with SQL type command is very helpful in logic implementation. The conveyors library is also very easy to use and very powerful. All my projects exchange data from/to Excel and this is easy to do in Flexsim. The ability to import 2D layouts and 3D shapes from various external format is also useful.
Cons
- Consistency. Almost all objects in flexsim have a UI with a general tab where you can set visual parameters and interaction with the object. However conveyor objects do not have this tab and it is very difficult to set the interaction parameters (protect object/show content/...) on these objects.
- Help. The help system can be improved. Particularly the contextual help and programming help.
- Fluid library. The built-in fluid library do not work well and is difficult to use to design fluid type system. For this reason we developed our own library some years ago. Now Flexsim offers a 3rd party module call FloWorks that works just fine for this purpose. I would appreciate to have FlowWorks becoming the built-in fluid library in Flexsim
- ExpertFit. ExpertFit is a tool to help choose the proper statistical distribution and parameters to represent a process. The UI of the tool dates back from Window 3.0 age and would greatly benefits from a complete revamp.

I used Flexsim to model an assembly warehouse that consisted with over 200 connections. It was fairly easy to build this model and I would recommend Flexsim to anyone who is looking to simulate manufacturing processes. Other simulation software I have used in the past is ProModel, and Flexsim is way more user friendly than Pro Model
Pros
I loved how user friendly this software was. This software is as easy as click, drag, drop! Love the feature that allows you to copy and paste if you are modeling a very large amount of equipment.
Cons
It was difficult for me to use the feature that allows you to make a video of your live model.

I only used FlexSim for teaching and I had a pleasant experience with it. I think FlexSim HC needs improvement. FlexSim added a lot of value to the course I was teaching. I would recommend making FlexSim and FlexSim HC training to academicians available for free even if the training are in other states. For instance, I was invited to a 3-day workshop of AnyLogistix software for free in IL state and I just needed to take care of my traveling expenses. This could help us to learning FlexSim and FlexSim HC much better and provide feedback on them.
Pros
I liked its' ease of use overall. There is a lot of great features that are easy to use and follow in the 3D environment. Support is very strong to use the software. We used FlexSim HC for the first time this year. It has strong features that need some maturity though. It is particularly very good for teaching.
Cons
I think the updates need to be progressing rapidly rather than making dramatic changes. It is very important to keep the compatibility with the prior updates of FlexSim.
One of the issues I faced with FlexSim HC was the entries in particular property areas. For instance, I was entering percentages and locations in several property areas for patients to travel however these entries were disappearing later on. I tried this many times both on Surface Pro 4 tablet and my Lenovo laptop, neither one kept the information in the cells. I think this is a major issue particularly when you teach the software. I also believe more educational videos make the software look better since there can be a lot of issues that users might face and these educational videos can help them. FlexSim has this nice support feature.

Pros
I appreciate all the functionality that FlexSim offers. You can do basically any thing you could possibly need in regard to simulation building. The customer support is excellent as well if you run into issues.
Cons
This software takes a long time to fully comprehend since it's so powerful. I have been using FlexSim for about 6 months now and still feel like i'm scraping the surface with all there is to do with the software.

I was able to use FlexSim to solve four scenarios in clinical environments.
The first successful project illustrated that changing a clinical process flow revealed improvements in patient outcomes and safety in a Labor & Delivery Department.
In another major project, building models in FlexSim in a future environment create opportunities for nurse managers to solve clinical work flows before opening the Miami Cancer Institute. Specifically we modeled Chemotherapy, Radiation Oncology, and the Laboratory.
We built models for an outpatient rehabilitation office that revealed the bottleneck occurred at the front desk with insurance verification time.
Our model of West Kendall Baptist Hospital imaging was used to justify hiring separate transporters because the model clearly showed that moving patients from the Emergency Department to imaging was the cause of higher than acceptable turn-around-times.
All-in-all, the FlexSim software provided a platform that was useful for management's effort to improve patient safety and performance.
Pros
FlexSim allows the user to create meaningful patient movement studies when the model is built on a solid foundation of a process flow. Developing an accurate process flow in addition to having accurate time/movement data contributed to building models that represented the real world environment.
Cons
The learning curve was a little steep, but to be fair, my style of learning, which relies on hands on repetition, helped make the software a little difficult to learn. Several of my colleagues were able to learn the software quicker than me.
Response from Autodesk
Thank you for your review, James! It's great to hear that you've had success using FlexSim to improve patient safety and performance. I also really appreciate you sharing experiences from you and your colleagues about learning the software.

Faster learning curve on some things but very challenging (close to impossible) for putting together very basic model on some very simple and common production lines.
Pros
Drag and drop simplicity and learning curve
Cons
The drag and drop items like the conveyors, machines, robots etc. are very basic and simplistic, NOT enough to create a workable model for any factory these days with some very, very serious programming, if at all. This was even more apparent during the 2 extra days I was there after the training to get help for my project. A very simple cell and a very simple machine from the factory I was working at was very challenging for the very highly knowledgeable mentor that I had and eventually I ended up not being able use the models we worked on on those two days.
Basically the machines, conveyors, etc should be more close to the types of machinery that are used in todays automated factories. Some examples would be;
- Robots having more than one gripper (for example; to swap the finished part on a machine with a raw part)
- Machines with multiple fixtures (for example; while the machine is processing the second fixture can be unloaded and loaded, and when the part is finished the fixtures swap places)
- Machines that are able to produce multiple parts at once (for example; machine has to wait for 4 raw parts to be loaded on its fixture to start machining them all at once)
- Conveyors to have pallets on them (a very common type of conveyor where you have a limited number of pallets circulating on the conveyor in which the raw and finished parts are picked and placed)
I would be more than glad to provide more details if needed.

Since 2015, the FlexSim Software license was acquired at the Escuela Superior de Ciudad Sahagún of the Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo, Mexico and, to date, more than 6 generations of students of the Industrial Engineering Education Program have learned, experienced and resolved case study in companies in the region. The results of the use of this impressive software involve the generation of students trained in Discrete Events Simulation, one of the most important topics of the Manufacture 4.0.
On the other hand, research articles have been written that show the scope when developing simulation projects with the industry, as well as a book called "A first step to Simulation with FlexSim", developed with the purpose of guiding students, professors, researchers and entrepreneurs in the use of this wonderful tool.
From the personal point of view and given that I know more than five simulation software, I could say that FlexSim is by far the best tool to do 3D simulation and with that, make decisions that guarantee the success of new thought proposed in production systems, logistics, services (hospitals, supermarkets, restaurants), among many others.
Pros
Its 3D animation, its easy programming, the logic to build models and statistical results.
Cons
The lack of diffusion of the software in the universities, as well as the organization of congresses or international events in Mexico.

My experience with the use of FlexSim has been excellent. I am in charge of choosing the software in my University. Since 2013, we have chosen FlexSim because it is the best software for the teaching of Simulation.
Pros
I like Flexsim software because it allows to build simulation models more adapted to reality than any other software on the market. In addition, it has a unique potential for the analysis of results as it is the case of the Dashboards that allows a visualization of statistics in real time.
Cons
Since 2018, FlexSim has been implementing changes by combining the Process Flow logic with the 3D environment. These changes have been beneficial, but the understanding of the logic has diminished. I am aware that the tutorials are useful, but for people who are going to work with the software for the first time, it could hinder the teaching process. I suggest that at the beginning of the tutorial you include more explanations in 3D as it was before.
Response from Autodesk
Thank you for your review, Daniel! We're pleased to hear that you've found FlexSim to be the most capable at building realistic simulation models, both visually and statistically. I agree that the Process Flow module can sometimes be challenging to add into an already busy course syllabus. We actually have a primer for academia available that covers mostly the standard 3D objects -- let's connect offline and I'd be happy to share it with you.

We use FlexSim for goods and process plant logistics as well as clinical people based logistics combined with goods flows.
Pros
FlexSim has been putting in a great development effort over the past few years and it really shows. New features such as Process Flow visual programming, and Statistics Collectors for data and result handling make models far easier and quicker to set up, and a lot of the new content means that FlexSim can be used for more different types of modelling fields with less effort. As the name implies FlexSim really does offer great flexibility in range of application. I especially look forward to exploring the new People Modul content in FlexSim 19.1 which should help make people based simulations even easier.
Cons
The deep level of customization and the sheer number of features that gives FlexSim its flexibility, can at times seem overwhelming and make the learning curve a bit steep. Though the interface is quite intuitive the fact that you can do the same thing in may different ways, sometimes has you wondering if you are making something harder than it has to be or if you have missed another features somewhere.

My experience using FlexSim overall is really fun and interesting. eventhough sometimes i got crashed or errors but all the features that FlexSim has are varies greatly. User can represent their ideas with many kind of ways. There are lot of options user can choose to build the model whether use the processflow, the 3D directly, combining both or others. User can easily document the model with recording feature in FlexSim. 3D world in FlexSim is really smooth. it can represent the actual system specifically and precisely. User can easily control the size, the shape and the colour as the user wish.
Pros
The processflow is the feature i like the most in FlexSim. Because processflow can describe detailed order sequences and represents complex actual system very well. User can easily create and manipulate the model trough processflow.
Cons
Sometimes i got errors and my flexsim suddenly crashed or my model cant run. I run my model and it run smoothly and then i tried to re-run again but the model got errors. I tried to re-launch the software and re-running my model. it run smoothly again. And sometimes when i re-running again I got error again. I experienced this several times during creating my model.

Training was good but that was basic I recommend at least attending multiple days and classes and having a consultant do some one on one training in order to fully take advantage of the software.
Pros
It really can do almost anything if you really put the time and effort in learning code and changing things. Its a very powerful tool that can help predict trends and make models of things. Graphics is hard to change but with time and experience you'll get the hang of it.
Cons
It's hard to learn things on flex sim. the support is hard because they have millions of ways to do just one thing so a lot of times people use short cuts that you've never learned or don't know how to do it and they'll do it that way.

my flexsim experience has been complex, with high and lows. overall I am happy with the finished product.
Pros
The software is quick to learn with a nice plug and play features. I like the process flow as an alternative to learning a coding language for someone outside of a CS industry.
Cons
there seem to be limitations in areas surrounding the material handling industry that flexsim has not invested time into. This includes new updates to detailed 3D objects.
