Arena

Kommentare: I have used it in my professional field, simulating the entrances and exits of ships in port terminals, and from the academic point of view as a teacher, making simulations of manufacturing processes and inventory management.
This wide range of uses is only allowed by software with the flexibility that Arena has.

Vorteile: What most strikes me is that it combines all the facilities of a high-level program, with the flexibility of a general programming language, which is achieved through the interchangeable templates it has, which in turn have modules for the modeling and analysis of graphic simulation.
This flexibility at the time of modeling is associated with the completely hierarchical structure that Arena has.

Nachteile: As with any mathematical model: it is a powerful tool that in good hands can be very useful, but in the wrong hands can be very dangerous. This software allows through sensitivity analyzes that simulate, make decisions, which are based only on the simulated scenarios, can be very risky, if the model that has been raised has not been validated with real data and statistics.

Kommentare: Amazing! I utilized this software for 6+ month for university coursework. It is intuitive to learn and has a long list of capabilities.

Vorteile: I used this software as a tool in upper level university coursework. We utilized many tools from input analyzer to modeling complex stochastic systems. We collected real world data and created models of systems; it was a concrete way to symbolize systems of interest for experimentation. As an engineer, it was fascinating to work with and it is a tool that can be utilized in a wide variety of applications. Definitely recommend.

Nachteile: Very communicative despite not being "pretty". Takes a lot of customization and time to make graphics "pretty" and doesn't necessarily add to the function.
