Chapter 6 Simulating a Business Process Model

SIMUL8 XEM basics

PowerDesigner ships with a SIMUL8 extended model definition (XEM). When attached to a BPM, this XEM allows the display of:

• The SIMUL8 properties as extended attributes in the Simulation tab of the PowerDesigner objects property sheet that allow you to prepare BPM objects for simulation in SIMUL8
• The SIMUL8 model export command that allows you to export a SIMUL8 new model from a BPM
• The SIMUL8 model import command that allows you to import a SIMUL8 model into a new BPM or an existing one

For more information on XEM, see "Extended Model Definitions" in the Resource Files and the Public Metamodel chapter of the Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner manual.
