Simulation Training Videos
We provide a collection of free training videos for learning Simio. The videos include an introductory sequence of six short lessons, as well as additional videos demonstrating how to approach specific modeling problems. These training videos are useful for the new user first learning how to model with Simio, as well as experienced modelers looking for some ideas on how to approach specific modeling situations. If you plan to evaluate Simio using the free evaluation version we recommend that you use the introductory lessons to guide you through your first modeling exercises. In one hour you will be able to start building and running models in Simio.
SimBits
SimBits are premade models that help you solve real-world modeling challenges. Each SimBit comes with PDF documentation so you can learn how to solve the problem with simulation. Simio comes with 50 SimBits and our developers are coming up with new ones everyday.
Introductory Lessons
The following videos describe how to get started in Simio and how to approach common modeling situations.
- Building a simple model
- Running experiments and viewing results
- Modeling material handling systems
- Enhancing the 3D animation
- Controlling entity flow with link-based decision logic
- Using add-on processes to add custom logic
Additional Videos
This area features videos to help you model specific situations.
- Referencing entity data in Data Tables
