From Flexsim....
Flexsim Version 5.12 has been launched since May 2010.
What's new....
- New undo/redo capability.
- New debugging capabilities, including:
- An in-line, step-by-step Flexscript debugger. Just go to the code editor and click in the left margin to set a break point.
- More strict syntax rules for Flexscript, including parameter cardinality and type checking.
- An event log that lets you see all events that have fired in the model, filter those events, export them to csv, etc.
- An event list that gives you a view of the list of pending events.
- A Flexscript code profiler that lets you see what Flexscript functionality is being called, how often, and how much time is being taken up.
- A new Animation Creator that allows you to create movable sub-components of objects as well as custom animations for those sub-components. To read further , please go http://youtu.be/gKy_3hNU4e4.
- New .skp 3D file import capability, for using files from Google Sketchup and Google 3D Warehouse.
- Improved 3D refresh rate.
- Optimized compatibility with ATI, NVIDIA, and integrated graphics cards.
- New software-based licensing using Flexnet. NO hardware security dongle is needed.
- Faster and more seamless compiling process, with no creation of a new Flexsim instance.
- Fixed compiling issues for Windows Vista and Windows 7
- More detailed, navigable and configurable Experiment reporting, with additional histogram and correlation plots.
- Support for png, ico and gif texturing on 3D objects, allowing transparency without requiring the .tmp and .tpg files.
- New all-in-one code editor with tabbing and an apply button.
- Improved look on default library objects.
- New 6-axis robot (thanks Kris Geisberger).
- New and improved xml save features, allowing multiple developers to work on the same model simultaneously, as well as better integration with versioning management systems.
- Several new Flexscript commands for string parsing.
- Added TASKTYPE_STARTANIMATION, TASKTYPE_STOPANIMATION, and TASKTYPE_FREEOPERATORS.
- Animation of the 3D View continues while panning/zooming.
History of Flexsim:
Flexsim Software Products has been in the simulation software and consulting business since 1993. Up until 2002 Flexsim Software Products sold a general-purpose discrete event simulator called Taylor II and Taylor ED. Taking 10 years experience with simulation and using the latest advances in software technology we have now developed a completely new object-oriented simulation modeling tool called Flexsim.
Flexsim is a software modeling application that can be used to simulate, and visualize any business process. Whether the process is manufacturing, logistics or administration, Flexsim will work because its modeling objects can be customized exactly to match the process. Flexsim has a high degree of openness and flexibility, allowing it to be totally customized into a specific application program suitable for any industry.
As mentioned earlier, Flexsim is for modeling, simulation, and visualization of business processes. The following is an explanation of each of these functions.
