Flexsim Software Technical Specifications Flexsims open architecture and integration with the most powerful and widespread

d programming language available, C++, means that Flexsim can be extended with any functionality imaginable. You dont have to be a C++ programmer to make the most of Flexsims flexibility. If all the preconfigured pick list options that come standard arent enough to meet your needs, you can customize objects further using Flexsims simple scripting language, called FlexScript. Users can use C++ for development or model building. This eliminates the need for users to learn a specialized simulation language that is not used in other applications Flexsim can import any file type (Excel, Access, Word, Oracle, ERP and WMS systems, etc.).You can import alphanumeric data (letters and numbers). It uses ODBC or you can use DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange).

Furthermore, 2D or 3D CAD layouts can be imported into Flexsim matter in vector form, while preserving the exact measurements and dimensions automatically. Flexsim uses non-vector graphics too, like .jpg, .gif, .bmp and .png but like textures in order to use pictures or draws, but when an exact dimension is need, it can use .dxf, 3ds, .wrl and .skp files in order to preserve to correct dimensions, which allows to gather accurate transportation times. Flexsim uses OpenGL, the same graphics used in today 3D games. Realistic spatial relationships, dynamic lighting, environmental effects, and more, help make your models as vibrant and realistic as you want. Since all of Flexsims graphics are native 3D and in real time, no post rendering is required to generated 3D models. Flexsim is a comprehensive development environment, complete with powerful development tools to create simulation software applications that are true object oriented (with inheritance for classes and class instances).

The standard Flexsim package includes an impressive library of 3D objects representing commonly encountered devices and equipment with fully customizable fill-in-the-blank and pick-menu controls for setting behavior parameters. If an object if not available off the shelf, you can create your own custom 3D objects really fast. Flexsim has a very capable library of class objects that can be used right out of the box to build a variety of different models quickly. Where more complicated or customized behaviors are called for, all Flexsim objects can be extended with the use of trigger logic. In addition, the source code for all classes in the library is open to the user to see and use freely. Users can create their own custom objects from scratch, or use existing library objects as a starting point. Flexsim allows "copy and paste to quickly build a model. For example, if you create a object with certain characteristics, this can be repeated as often as required. Therefore, a Flexsim user can build models very fast by duplicating the characteristics of one object several times in models, where there are several objects having the same characteristics. With Flexsim you can customize your 3D graphics using a new .skp 3D file import capability within, for using files from Google Sketchup, a free and incredibly easy to use 3D drawing software. There is also the Google 3D Warehouse, where you can find thousands of free 3D draws, which can download and modified by a user. Flexsim can imports and exports information at any time, at the beginning, during the run and at the end of simulation. In addition, Flexsim can be run in real time, a feature that some customers require, when they actually control their automated processes and PLC logic with updated real time information.
