Simcad is a visual process simulation and modeling software for Windows 98, 2000, and XP. Through a user-friendly graphical interface, Simcad provides the tools to model the most complex environments. Simcad uses animation techniques to simulate the modeled flow and to graphically detect bottlenecks and process usage. Data logging and Simcad’s ability to generate a variety of reports provide the user with detailed information about the utilization of processes and resources.
Simcad is a modeling tool for all process-based environments. "Objects" flow through the model, passing through a variety of processes. Each process modifies the object, or transforms one or more existing objects into new objects. Manufacturing, assembly, process-based office environments, and workflow-based environments are a good fit for Simcad modeling capabilities. Other environments that can also benefit from the simulation capability of Simcad include networked systems, process improvements, and company restructuring and reengineering. In summary, Simcad is a general-purpose simulation tool that can model most process-based environments with ease.
