Process simulation models allow you to define how a process behaves as part of a
Project Simulation Model. You can define multiple process simulation models for each
process. This allows you to create different simulations based on different
combinations of resource allocations and activity behavior.
Note: Grab, Global, and End activities are not simulated.
Process Information Tab
The Process Information Tab allows you to configure in:
| Option |
Description |
| Enable amount of current instances |
Allows you to define the number of instances that can exist within
the simulation at one time. The process simulation will run until the duration is
completed or the maximum number of instances is reached.
|
The following table lists the Distribution Types used when creating process instances:
| Option |
Description |
| Constant |
Generates simulated process instances regularly as defined by the
period property.
|
| Uniform |
Generates simulated process instances regularly, taking into
account the variation specified in the delta property.
|
| Exponential |
Creates simulated process instances using an average frequency of
instances within a specific interval.
|
| Normal |
Generates simulated processes according to a Gauss Bell
distribution based on a mean and standard deviation.
|
| Real |
Creates simulated process instances based on specific time-based
criteria. This type of distribution is primarily used with round-trip simulations.
You can specify the interval criteria used to categorize the distribution. You can
also specify the mean and standard deviation.
