仿真系统与软件-Arena基础

A data module, edit in spreadsheet view only View, edit aspects of different Types of entities in your model (we have just one Type, Part) Pull-down lists activated as you select fields Our only edit – Initial Picture for animation

All names you make up in a model must be unique across the model, even across different types of modules

Set values, conditions, etc. for whole model
– –
No entity flow, no connections Entity, Queue, Resource, Variable, Schedule, Set
Basic Process panel data module types:
Icons in Project Bar look like little spreadsheets To use a data module, select it (single-click) in the Project Bar, edit in spreadsheet view

(1) Create Flowchart Module


“Birth” node for entities Gave this instance of the Create-type module the Name Part Arrives to System
–
If we had other Create modules (we don’t) they’d all have different Names

Double-click on module to open property dialog:

Process模块

– –
Nodes/places through which entities flow Typically connected to each other in some way Create, Dispose, Process, Decide, Batch, Separate, Assign,

Relations Among Modules

Flowchart and Spreadsheet modules are related via names for objects

Create：它是流程的开始，实体从该模块进入仿真 过程。 Dispose：它是流程的结尾，实体从该模块退出仿 真过程。 Process：一个活动，通常需要一个或更多的资源， 并且需要消耗一些时间来完成。 Decide：是程序的分支部分，实体只可以选择一个 分支。 Batch：在继续运行流程之前，收集一定量的实体。 Separate：在并行的程序中复制实体，或是将先前 所建立的一组实体分散成其他组。 Assign：在仿真过程中改变一些参数的值，例如实 体的类型或仿真变量。

1. Arena简介

1982 first PC-based simulation language (SIMAN) 1985 first animation for PC-based simulation (Cinema) 1993 first template-based simulation system (Arena 1.0) 1995 first Microsoft certified simulation system (Arena 2.0) 1997 first VBA enabled simulation system (Arena 3.0) Call$im and HiSpeed$im released 1998 first scaleable simulation system (Arena Business Edition - Arena 4.0) 2000 first comprehensive enterprise simulation system Arena 5.0
–
Queues, Resources, Entity types, Variables … others

Arena keeps internal lists of different kinds of names
– –
Presents existing lists to you where appropriate Helps you remember names, protects you from typos

3. Arena导航面板



Basic Process panel: Contains the modeling shapes, called modules, that you’ll use to define your process. Reports panel: Contains the reports that are available for displaying results of simulation runs. Navigate panel: Allows you to display different views of your model, including navigating through hierarchical submodels.

Application Areas

– –
Can edit via dialog – double-click in leftmost column Double-click where indicated to add new row Right-click on row, column to do different things
–

Two ways to edit
– –
Double-click to open up, then fill out dialogs Select (single-click) a module type in model or Project Bar, get all modules of that type in the spreadsheet view
