Abstract :
Simulation models are typically built to obtain an understanding of the system dynamics and compare alternatives. ExtendSim´s Scenario Manager provides an easy interface to evaluate different model configurations and explore the effects of model parameters. Scenario management provides for a systematic, controlled approach to the investigation of a system or process. Among other things, it can be used for problem solving (“what are the main factors contributing to the problem”), parameter design (“how well does the system/process perform given specified factors”), and robustness studies (“what is the best configuration of factor values to maximize/minimize variations in response”). Thus it has a very broad application across all disciplines.
