Completion

Sometimes, just by watching the simulacian outcome is not enough in finding out the bottleneck, especially when the diagram is large, and has many, many bottlenecks. In such cases, you can produce charts for simulacian outcome, which helps quantify resource consumption and queuing time for each flow object.

To read the charts, click Simulacian Charts in simulacian control panel.

Open simulacian charts window

Completion chart

The completion chart primarily shows the status of inputs completion against time.

9	Not yet started inputs	Check or uncheck the inputs to show or hide in chart the change of the amount of not-yet-started inputs throughout simulation.
10	Processing inputs	Check or uncheck the inputs to show or hide in chart the change of the amount of processing inputs throughout simulation.
11	Completed inputs	Check or uncheck the inputs to show or hide in chart the change of the amount of completed inputs throughout simulation.
12	Chart body	The chart body.
13	Export	Click to export the opening chart to Microsoft Excel or image file.
