Benefit from inheritance and hierarchy
Handle, understand and maintain complex and detailed simulations much better than conventional simulation tools due to the architectural advantages of encapsulation, inheritance and hierarchy.
Model using objects within objects and models within models at all levels of the hierarchy. Items stored in libraries are maintained for all users and changes are automatically applied to all instances of those items wherever they are used. And those library items can be easily configured to specific requirements within a particular simulation.

Take advantage of openness and integration
Leverage an open system architecture to support multiple interfaces and integration capacities, including ActiveX, C, CAD, COM, JSON, MQTT, ODBC, OPCClassic, OPCUA, Oracle SQL, Socket and XML.
Integrate easily with other Siemens software applications like NX Line Designer, Teamcenter, Simcenter HEEDS, Opcenter APS, TIA Portal, PLCSIM Advanced and SIMIT.

Analyze and experiment freely
Enjoy many built-in tools and graphical outputs to assess production system performance, including automatic bottleneck detection; throughput analysis; machine, resource and buffer utilization; energy consumption; cost analysis; Sankey diagrams and Gantt charts.
Use experiment management tools and integrated neural networks to enable comprehensive experiment handling and automated system optimization via genetic algorithms.
