Chapter 10 Simulating a Business Process Model
The PowerDesigner start is mapped to the SIMUL8 work entry point.
From the Simulation tab of the start property sheet, you can display the following SIMUL8 extended attributes:
| Name | Internal code | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capital cost | FinanceCapitalCost | 0 | Capital cost. Financial results are displayed in the SIMUL8 Finance→Income Statement window |
| Capital cost by unit | FinanceCapitalCostByUnit | 0 | Capital cost by work unit |
| Time average | InterArrivalTimeAverage | 10 | Average time between two consecutive work items (in time units) |
| Time bound lower | InterArrivalTimeBoundLower | 10 | Lower bound for the uniform timing distribution type. Samples from a uniform distribution are equally spread between the lower bound and the upper bound |
| Time bound upper | InterArrivalTimeBoundUpper | 11 | Upper bound for the uniform timing distribution type. Samples from a uniform distribution are equally spread between the lower bound and the upper bound |
| Time distribution | InterArrivalTimeDistribution | Exponential | The start object can feed work by using different statistical distributions |
| Time standard deviation | InterArrivalTimeStandardDeviation | 0 | Standard deviation for the normal timing distribution type. For the average distribution type, this standard deviation value is set to: average value / 4 |
